a £450 webcam? u mean a video camera?

not all videocameras can be used as a webcam. they often need special software.

Did you install the drivers for it? Look at their site, if you can't find it there then look for a CD you got together with the cam.
Finish the problem

I had this problem with my webcam...

Have you (since you installed the drivers) disconnected the camera from the USB port... Because that sometimes can automatically Uninstall the drivers.(well it did for me) :$

I had this problem.  Make sure you are using the company's drivers, and not the default webcam ones that come with Windows. Worked for me :D
