I need a geek to help me with my webcam

Recommended Posts

so I bought a new one today, (same model as my old one)

my old one, at one time showed like a purple haze on everything, then after some tinkering, everything had an orange cast on it, which looked worse than the purple.

New one: I uninstall all old stuff, so I can start from scratch with the new camera, results...black fuzz screen, no image at all

I would like to think I'm not a computer moron, but I am really perplexed on this one.

Some details will help... what version of Windows or Mac are you running?

Is the cam USB? Brand? Model?

Have you tried re-booting?



Windows XP
USB cam Micro innovations IC50c ( I have went to the website and downloaded drivers from there, thinking maybe the cd was bunk)

and I have rebooted 2 or 3 times:|

On taking the lens cap off the picture suddenly appeared ... Oh! ;)

Sorry - late at night and just joking. B|

get you mind out of the gutter, Jeff!

Its main purpsoe is so my mom can see the kids, so I can see Kevin in TX, and have video occassional G RATED video chats with friends.

Now you gonna help me or not?:|



Okay, mind (relieved) out of the gutter. :)
I'm sorry I'm no good for helping with this at a distance. If I were right there, I'd probably have ideas about how to make the thing work (I got my own one working -- unfortunately, even though it "works," it's not supported by Yahoo so I can't really use it).

If you can't manage it by the time I come for a visit next, I'll try to help.
