Webcam does not work by shof515 on 09-30-2006 at 01:06 PM
Reinstall webcam drivers and messenger a few times. Still does not work. Here is the problem:
In the Audio and Video Setup, it listes my web cam:
Video Blaster Webcam3 and it shows video:

However in Webcam settings, i get this error:
You can not change your camara settings because either your camara is not plugged into the computer.:

The odd part, it is plugged int since audio and video setup shows the camara work and creative programs also shows video that means my cam work
