Hi, I must admit that without details of make and model of webcam, we are going to be struggling here. Quite often the webcam comes with a drivers disk especially for loading it on Windows XP and without those drivers it isn't likely to work.

I assume it is a USB connection so can you tell us if anything seems to happen at all?

Does it show as any sort of device in "My Computer"?

Lastly, if nothing showing there look in device manager and see if it shows up there, it may do with a red or yellow mark.

To get to device manager, click "Start" then "Run" copy and paste into the box=

 

devmgmt.msc

 

Click OK.

Look down the list for "Imaging Devices" and click the small arrow on the left to expand, does it show there?

 

As for make and model of the webcam, is there nothing in the way of a label underneath or even engraved in the plastic of the case?

Hi, what you found in device manager is telling us there is no driver for the webcam, without the details of it in order to find the right driver, we are both stuck I am afraid.

If you can take a few photo's of it from different angles, then post them here, someone might just recognise it and hopefully give us a model number we can work with.
