Windows Vista and 7 ( can't remember about XP ) come with native drivers for the webcam so it may be a problem with these.
You could try running a system file check by browsing to all programs, accessories, right click on the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. Type in the following command and hit return.
sfc / scannow
If that doesnt work download and install the software driver for your webcam on the link below.

i hope this works for you.
please specify the name of the manufacturer of your video device. Is it gForce Nvidia? or something like that. Also, make sure to download the supporting driver files from the website of your laptop's manufacturer. There in their site, files are stored categorically. Go to Video Drivers and download and install.
The Foxz3 drivers aren't configured for Vista (only mentions Windows 98, 2000 and XP on the original box). However, you can grab your pix by treating the Foxz3 as a mass storage device (in MSDC mode - not PC Camera). Worked fine for downloading my daughter's pix onto our Vista laptop. Not so hot for videoclips though.
i had the same problem with my camera too but i emailed the manufacter and this is what they sent me:
Hi, Thank you for your interest in Digital Blue. Please unplug the camera from your computer and follow the steps below.
Open the Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click on 'Command Prompt' and select "Run As Administrator...".
This will bring up a window saying 'Windows needs your permission to continue', please click on the 'Continue' button.
When the DOS window opens, type in (without the quotes): 'cd c:\windows\system32'
The above should change the command prompt to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32:.
Now, type in (without the quotes): 'regsvr32 vbscript.dll' (dll = dynamic link library)
You should see a window pop up stating 'DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.'
Please insert the software CD with version 2.2.0 into your CD/DVD-ROM drive.
This will bring up the auto-play for the install, please follow the prompts to go through the installation.
The install consists of three different software packages, you should see the Pix 2.2, Pix Loader or Pix Micro Downloader, and the DB CIF Cam being installed.
If you receive an error after the Pix 2.2 install, you will need to download the drivers and Downloader program from our website at http://digiblue.com/customer-service/downloads/index.html You will need to select the 'Disney Pix Micro Downloader' and 'Disney Pix Micro Drivers for WIN Vista'.
Once you have installed the drivers and downloader program you will be asked to restart your computer. After the computer has been restarted, plug the camera into the USB port and look to see that the computer says the drivers have been installed.
Open the Pix Loader or Disney Pix Micro Downloader from your Desktop or from the All Programs list and click on the Download button. If you have a 'Pixel Up' window pop up, click OK, and wait for the download to finish. A 'Delete' button will come up on the Downloader program which will indicate the download has been completed.
You can view the photos by going to 'My Pictures' > 'My Snapshots' or using the Pix 2.2 editing software.
