PCLine 100k webcam installation problem

    Okay, I'm at home in Ireland with my parents this weekend. Yay \o/

    I'm trying to install a webcam for my dear old ma but I'm having serious problems. It's a PC Line 100k webcam, I've used the installation CD to install the driver and followed the procedures outlined, I then followed the manual which said that I should then install the Capture software. I did that but when I start the software it tells me it can't dind the capture device as here is none installed?

    It's a simple USB cam, I've no idea what's wrong. Any help appreciated. I've installed different cams before but never come across this problem. :(
    It's a Windows XP machine...
    Mods, please move if this is in the wrong place.

    when you plug the cam into any of the usb ports does the pc detect it? does a window pop up asking for drivers?

    I think if you install skype and go into the options menu, and the video settings it will show you what the camera sees, if the driver have been installed

    also in control panel, settings, hardware, device manager, the camera should be listed, maybe under imaging devices or something

    Thanks for that, I completely uninstalled, shutdown, cold booted and redid the installation...that worked fine, software starts and everything.

    However, when I closed the camera software and opened Skype to do the camera test...nothing happened, it can't see the camera and tells me it's in use by another application. So I shutdown and cold booted again with no better result. I'll be back in Ireland again in 2 weeks time so I'll try it all again . Thanks for the reply :)
