  • You won't have a lot of luck in this part of the forum - try here
  • Just get the USB that is attached to it and plug it into the USB port.
    After get the CD that came with it, install the relevant software, or if you havent got the CD download the driver from the manufactors website, install it then you should be good to go.
    Use something like MSN to test it.

    Silly observation, really...but are there instructions with it?? Might be a good place to start...

    If not, then tell us what you've got and we might be able to help more from there... ;)
    If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

  • Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Assuming that the webcam is plugged in and you have the drivers loaded, then programs like Skype will automatically detect it. You will be able to test the video in Skype preferences and see what it looks like without having to initiate a call with somebody else.
