Very likely you have a defective webcam and need to return it. Before you do so verify it at the free webcam test site. If you can't see yourself there then the webcam is defective.

to chat with ur friends u will need the foll:
WebCam, Mic, and Speakers.
Alss u will need to have either Yahoo Msgr, or MSN Mgr etc
u need to connect the Webcam using the USB port and once the Webcam is detected by your OS (i assume u use Windows) u may have to install the driver for the Webcam(the CD that came along with the Webcam will have the driver)
inster the CD in the CDR/DVD drive and let the machine install the device....once it's doen u r set

Mic and Speakers r normally Plug and Play devices and they just need to be connected to PC/Laptops sound card/Mic ports in you machine and they will automaticaly work.

Disconnect webcam
Uninstall webcam software
Re-start computer
Download from here

it is quite possible that the webcam is being used by other application like msn messgenger or yahoo messenger .. try closing them and then use skype. also try unplugging the cam...restart the system and then plug the cam once again.

Normal 0 Also send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

Skype Setup:
After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/) set it up as follows:

1. Go to Tools, then Options, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
2. Then click on the Video Settings.
3. The camera if Installed Properly will come up and show a video picture.
4. Then, on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to see and her to you.
Hope this helps. Bud

Hello Josh,

Vista Business, great. So you are coming up with an error. I suspect this could be an issue with the disk being dirty or scratched or the CD drive is messed up. Let me give you a link to the software and you can download it and install it that way.http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=ICE. Let me know if this solves the issue.

Thanks,
Armymason
