Is the camera there? One app that I find works well with webcams, as long as they are detected is "Camstream". I can appreciate the frustration. there are similar problems on some sound cards, and TV tuner cards, etc. It may be worth trying a different webcam. The lifetec LT9388 using the ov511+ driver, which I have, works ok. See what's available, and check them out before buying. Don't give up. Nigel.
