Let me clear up all the problems in this topic and many many discussions across the web. If your having problems with your (cheap) Mikomi webcam and you have Windows Vista...
THE WEBCAM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS VISTA!
The drivers for all Mikomi (Ming Jong) webcams can be downloaded here:

If your webcam does not say Vista compatible, it does NOT support Vista and therefore will NOT work. If you don't have Vista and are still having problems, try what is suggested in the thread and search
Google. If you still can't find a solution, bad luck, but a better webcam next time
.
Mikomi (Ming Jong) do offer Vista compatible webcams, but the ones that everyone is having problems with are old and are not compatible with Vista.
If you have Vista or plan or getting Vista, and your looking for a webcam, learn from your mistakes and make sure it's Vista compatible. Also go for a better brand name and not a cheap product imported from Taiwan
.
Edit: Hmm. Strange. Looking on the
Argos website, 4 out of 5 Mikomi webcams are supported by Vista
. Maybe their CD drivers have been updated. The latest drivers should be on the Mikomi website posted above.
