Have you uninstalled the webcam and re-install the drivers sa when you install some programs they overwrite the dll files in windows directory and goto the web and update the drivers if they have them on the manufactures web site. hope this goes well.

Black screen start up and nothing

If the laptop appears to be working other than the screen hook a monitor to the video output, if you get a picture on the monitor you can evaluate what is working, but if the symptom is the same the video graphics chip or the motherboard is the issue.

Logitechquick cam - can't see my mother

Hi,

from the logitech video instructions it says:
Going full screen is easy. When you're on a video call, just click the icon (on the left corner) to enlarge your video to full screen.
Just click on the video or press ESC to return to normal video size.
Picture-in-picture allows you to see what others see. Click on the PIP icon to turn it on.

If this is not working as it is the latest XP driver needs to be downloaded from the logitech web site.
