Please delete the other thread.

Reinstall driver. Update graphic card driver also.

Go to device manager and see if the web cam is in their. If so right click on it>properties>details tab>drop down menu> Copy and Paste the hardware id string. And we can look for a driver for it that way.

If it is in device manager and doesn't have a yellow exclamation point on it, then the driver is installed and it could be a software problem or a bad cam.Since it seems to work on and off.


Since it worked in Vista try using the Vista driver
