i dont know, i needed some kind of reward for the help....

My webcam is good to me, it's a shame that yours sucks. Maybe that webcam isn't compatible with your computer, or your USB outlets don't work. I know Guido had a cam and now it won't work on his comp because his USB things are dysfunctional

Pooping_Panda · 01-27-2005, 06:24 PM

my USB's are shot, i have my keyboard, mouse, printer and other stuff plugged into them and they all work just great...maybe its the webcam....sigh.....

Argh, there was something I did. I installed the drivers for mine, then it didn't work, then I did something. ARGH, I can't remember at all. I'll post when I do.

Based on that, I'd say that your USB ports are bad. Have you tried unplugging your keyboard or any of those things and plugging in the cam in the place of it?

Pooping_Panda · 01-27-2005, 07:06 PM

ive plugged it in every single one of my usb's, even the front ones.

**stretchypanda** · 01-27-2005, 08:01 PM

Guido had the same problem, except his USBs don't work at all... you might have that checked, even if they work otherwise.

Look for updated drivers on the net or alternate drivers on the net. Always read the manual/troubleshoot. Check google for similar problems. Check the site for recalls or bad equipment.

Also, how about an exact name on the cam? Is it just Liogitech Quickcam? A quick Google check comes up that there is more than one model.

Maybe it's not a good USB Cable that came with the camera? We had something like that when we hooked up my grandmothers computer to her cable modem (my dad used the USB set up rather than the ethernet hook up). It fried out her entire motherboard after half an hour. Got the motherboard replaced, and it did it again. Then, hooked it up through ethernet, and haven't had a problem since.
