There are a few things you can do to attempt to fix this problem. 1) Reinstall the drivers, use the drivers from the manufacturers website and not your cd as they will be updated. 2) If this doesn't fix the problem install the webcam on another pc and see if it works or not, if it does then the problem is isolated to your pc. If it doesn't work then buy a new webcam or claim it on warrenty. 3)If the webcam works on other pcs and not your own then run "The Works" on your pc, virus scanner, malwarebytes, ccleaner, disk defragmenter and repair install vista from the cd.
