Did it ever work?
What if anything did you install or change before it stopped working? (If it ever did).

Hi ... Try doing the following >>> start >> control panel >> add and remove programs >> Locate your webcam program and select to uninstall , Once its uninstall do this >> Right click the Start and select explorer , Now if windows is install on the C Drive ? Expand the C Drive , Then expand Program Files , Search for your webcam folder , once found right click on the folder and select delete , afterward just close everything ... Now go to your recycling bin and delete whats there ... Restart your computer ... Once its restarted go to the manufacturer of your webcam and try to get the latest driver for it ... See if that works
