I have a Creative Webcam Pro webcam. I know its a cheapy that sells for about 30 bucks. It says right on the box that it is compatible with Windows ME. It works fine when it's running but the built in light directly on the camera itself,shuts off after about 5 to 15 minutes of usage.My question is: Are web cameras limited to a certain TIME usage or does anyone know what might cause the camera to shut off? OR do I need to buy a better camera?
