Webcam for Vista

Does anyone know of a good cheap webcam for Vista.
I bought a trust 3300 webcam without even thinking if it would work, it worked for a bit but now can't seem to get it working.

Thanks

    I have a logitech quickcam, cost me around £10, they sell it in currys, comet and pcw, its a white cam in a green box with vista compatible on the side. It's not brilliant but great for a tenner. The above places plus staples now have a really good choice if you're after 1mp cams, it was only a few months ago that i had to look really hard for anything vista compatible, now most shops stock it and the prices have dropped considerably.
    There is also a way to 'trick' the comp into accepting an xp non-vista compatible webcam with a registry hack as i was going to do this with my old cam, but decided against it as it wasn't even vga res, try googling it.
