I can t work my webcam!

hum..instruction booklet helps..well sometimes.

Not when you don t have one.

You're suppose to keep your clothes on while setting up.

lol, thats why my pockets are empty

I can't figure mine out. Now, I just use it to take pic.'s that I post here. What a waste!

I hear that

screw it, too much work

hewp!

boo

well nobody will be able to help unless you give more info...
is it the kind thats built into your laptop?
i have one of those and it was hard to figure out at first too.

It's suppose to work if it is built in...If not, like mine, it is suppose to be plugged in the back

Good one

I'll send u my old one it has instructions not that they help much

More often than not, this is going to be a driver(software for the device) issue.

questions...

1.) Is this a new device?
IF NOT, Are you using this old device on the computer in question for the first time?
IF NOT, Has the webcam ever worked on this computer?
IF SO, have you recently reformatted/reinstalled your operating system or allowed someone to 'optimize' your computer?

2.) is it plugged into your computer (or in the unlikely event that it is wireless, connected wirelessly)?

3.) What type of webcam is it? (brand name and model #/name)

4.) What program are you using to 'verify' whether your webcam is working or not? ( if unknown, or 'you aren't using one', try yahoo messenger or another messenger application and verify whether the program recognizes your webcam, and gives you picture feedback when you open the webcam dialoge/screen/page/form)

5.) Does the webcam have and show a power indicator light as on, has a power indicator light, but does not show it as on, or has no indicator light?


Before you actually even post a reply to my post, if you have the answer to question 3, please put that information into a google search, along with ' driver download ' ... and begin to download the latest driver for your webcam.

That worked ty

brettbrett-you rock

even built in webcams need correct drivers to work, the difference is.. since it's built in, The driver is loaded onto your computer before it ever leaves the factory. Also, the driver for the device is in the factory CD shipped with the computer labeled DRIVER SOFTWARE (not for distrubtion).. or something to that effect.. haha

Sooo, if you ever get a computer that has a built-in device that isn't working.. download the driver for it, which you can often find the model of the device by searching the model of the computer that has it built-in.
