Anyone an expert with webcams?

Hi peeps

I need heeeeeelp!

I bought a logitech quickcam pro for notebooks and it is driving me insane. I installed as per ithe instructions (really!) and plugged in the cam. After being detected I got a failed hardware installation message saying that \' the parameter is incorrect\'. Doesn\'t mention which parameter, where, why or what! I have tried the latest driver, I have installed from a clean boot (like clean boots!) I have even uninstalled all my VID\'s from the registry and my usb controllers themselves and re-installed them, and no such luck. The 2 logitech guys I have spoken to were stumped - and they actually sounded like they had seen a PC before .

Does have anyone have any idea on how to resolve this as its sitting round like an expensive piece of plastic staring at me

Thanks

Shaz

It could simply be a faulty camera.
Return that one and try a new one.

edit:
I assume you mean this oneQuickcam

With XP it should be simple plug-n-play????

lol

Sorry....you are using XP aren\'t you. If not, a lot of new hardware/software is extremely sensitive to it\'s operating environment. Some crap I downloaded the other day insisted on an XP Service Pack 3 environment!

As if...

I thought that everyone knew it was \"plug-n-pray\"? ???

Nothing of value here, my webcam just worked. Of course, it\'s not Logitech.

Hello

Yes it was that one, I actually have 2, and they both do that.

Any more ideas anyone?
