Hello!
The situation is a bit confusing as I do not have any details, but let's try solve it together.
Variable webcam models require variable system values and editions.

Please read and follow these steps:

A. First uninstall your camera: Start>Control Panel>Uninstall a Program> find your webcam in the list, click on it and click Uninstall/Change>Confirm/Allow if prompted.Restart your computer.

B. Your webcam's requirements are following:

  • MacOS X 10.4.11 and 10.6.x for iChat and Skype
  • Windows XP(SP2) and Windows Vista for Windows Live Messenger, Skype and Yahoo! Messenger
  • Any desktop or notebook computers with a USB2.0 port available

  • I wish you told me what Operation System you use, as in that case it would be much easier to provide you a good solution.
    • To see which Operating Program you use click on Start, right click Computer and click Properties and you will enter System where all the information about your Operating System s listed. The first line in the first paragraph is the name of your Operating System.

    1. If running Mac:

    As you see in the requirements for installing your webcam you need MacOS X 10.4.11 or more (10.6.x for iChat and Skype), so if you are running less then you need to update.
    Tips on how to update your Mac you can find here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338


    2. If running XP:

    Please, make sure your XP is up to date by checking Windows Update (Start>type Windows Update and click enter>click on Check for Updates in the left pane and wait until Windows Update download and install Available updates. You can also check on www.microsoft.com for latest XP updates.
    Note that for now, XP latest update is Service Pack 3: if your Operating System is up to date it should be listed when you open System as I provided above, but still run Windows update just to make sure.

    3. If running Vista:

    Please make sure your Vista is up to date and running Service Pack 2. The info you get in System as I provided above in bold.
    If you do not find Service Pack 2 in your System list (Service Pack 1 or none instead), then please run Windows Update (described in 2.). If you do not get Service Pack 2 automatically, then please visit www.microsoft.com click on Downloads, click on Vista and then double click on Service Pack 2.
    Download it and install, and then restart your computer.
    Check for updates using Windows Update, install any new updates available and restart your computer.

    Now about the USB2 requirement, you need to see your computer specifications as I do not know which computer you use (manufacturer, model).

    C. Install your camera:
    Insert the camera drive CD and if the installation does not start automatically, please do the following: double click on Computer on your desktop>double click on CD/DVD>double click on Driver>Allow/Continue if prompted. If the program prompts you to plug the camera, then you do so and continue installation.
    Restart your computer after the installation is done.

    D. Update camera driver:
    Click Start>right click Computer>click Manage>Device Manager.
    Find your camera in the list, right click on it and click Update. Plug the camera if prompted and continue.
    Restart your computer. Now the device should be working.


    Regards!

    Bought firestick, tv only has 1 hdmi connection. tv plugged into hdmi. tried plugging tv hdmi connector into splitter, fire stick into tv & vise versa. won't work with both of them plugged in.

    This will mean that your TV will only accept 1 HDMI signal through that port meaning a splitter won't work unfortunately.
    The only other option is to get an adaptor for another port that you do have spare on your TV, like AV or DVI.

    Cylinder 2 not working Daewoo cielo 1.5i 1995

    Do you have spark at cylinder 2? If not, check spark plug wire or spark plug. Another possibility is the ignition coil pack (the thing your spark plug wires run in to). Hopefully that is not the issue because they are expensive new. An easy way to check is to pull the spark plug out of the engine then reconnect it to the spark plug wire. Turn the engine over and check for spark at the end of the plug. WARNING: don't touch the plug unless you like pain. You can always buy a spark plug tester. Anyway, this will determine if you have spark problems with this cylinder.

    The fan works great, but the light does not work?

    are they both on the same switch?
    have you checked the bulb it self or the socket that it goes into?
    have you checked the plug in the fixture for the light? plug the fan into the light socket plug to check and do the same for the light - plug into the fan outlet...
    have you checked both the neutral and the hot for the light plug?

    Cigarette plug not working

    Hi, the plug is kept in place with a nut that fits on the back of the plug. You will need to take the panel out in order to get to the nut. Before you replace the plug, on the back of the plug, you should see a grayish type of washer where the power cable connection is mounted. If you take that washer out, the plug should work again.
