    Have you tried the driver from their website (link)?

    Make sure to uninstall the old driver first, then run the program, then plug the webcam in when the programs either asks you to or finishes.

    If it doesn't work on another computer, then I'd chuck it.

    Also... have you restarted your computer? Worth a punt... sometimes gives the thing the kick up the @r$e it needs...
