I use an early Logitech - the larger ''ball'' deal with silver drop down lens cover. Only gets used for occasional MSN hook ups.
I got a later version to use on my Lenovo backup (smaller silvery-blue ''ball'') but that, tho functional, seemed to install way too much garbage such that when I wanted to work on video's and particularly with capture - things were screwed.
Uninstalled that one.

I have a question about webcam, can a person take your screen shots while you are using the webcam?

They can, if they use printscreen. Emiel

Yes it works. When they use printscreen, they can copy the screenshot to paint (or something else), cut out everything unused and save the webcam window as a paint file. Emiel

Why? Are you afraid that people might take screenshots of you without your permission? That can be avoided. When you turn on your webcam, you can choose in which conversation you want to use it. It's not needed to use it in every conversation. So when people ask you to turn on your webcam, a simple ''no'' should do just fine. Emiel

Please do not call your computer stupid when it breaks or lags. Computers can only do what they are programmed to. and thus, often it is the user that is stupid. GET MY DRIFT?

When my neice and her children(whom my daughter is very close to) moved to another state, I purchased a webcam. My daughter used it about a week or two then started feeling like she was being watched, so she unplugged it. We moved this last Feb. and it is still in a box somewhere. This is a person that loves IMs, texting, taking pictures of herself and posting them, but she was afraid when she was unaware, someone may see her.

You know, it is ok to have it plugged in when you're using it, and unplugged when you're not. You don't have to hide it.

Yes, I have one. The brand is Zonet. It's a simple, external model. I don't use it much and don't have much need for it; it's basically a toy to play with sometimes. I've used it with instant messaging and with Windows NetMeeting a few times. I got it to use with my Win XP desktop. It will not work with my notebook PC with Windows Vista; Zonet has not issued a driver to support Vista.

I'm mostly at work and unable to use a cam there. I currently don't have a system at home and will be purchasing one soon, so when I do finally get up with the times (haha).... I just might purchase a cam to communicate with friends and relatives who currently have one.

I don't have any web com as of now. Intend to buy one probably within a week or so. It's difficult you know that without a web camp you won't be able to see who it is that you are chatting.

Well, I believe you could see them if they have a webcam and have it active in their IM software, but, of course, they won't be able to see you unless you have a webcam at your end.

I had a fairly nice HP at one time. I've have had a few over the years. I just used this one to take pictures of my guitars and to photo the odd things I sell on ebay. My computer is in my bedroom-at the foot of mine and my wife's bed. I woke up one night, decided to surf and found someone was logged into my camera! That was creepy! Anyway, THAT ended my love affair with web cams for the time being. I never told my wife about it. She'd freak. Not that I had an opportunity to perform any lewd acts in front of said cam!!!

I have a rather old Logitech QuickCam. I would have it on my main computer, but I can't find 64-bit drivers for the life of me. It is on my web server being a very basic webcam that updates a .jpg every 5 seconds.

Creative 2MP USB Web Cam  but its slow on the capture since the software with it has way to many features, much more than i need. since i only need the basic drivers and capture software for web chat.

I use a fairly recent Creative Labs Cam. Works good, is able to follow the face. Since I communicate with lots of family and friends back in the USA it is good to be able to see their faces (especially when they laugh). I use it often.

I tried to use my digital video camera because I read that a camera would have better optics, but I never could get it to work. So no I don't use a webcam.

I have a 2 MegaPixel Webcam in my laptop, but I've only used it 3-4 times in 1 year. The internet connection is just too slow and the video quality is horrible. I'll wait a few years till I actually chat again with this worthly cam.

Waking up the dead by replying to extremely old topics will not help. Start a new topic in the appropriate board, and tell us a lot more about the problem and your computer Read these two documents: http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,45928.0.htmland http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,33586.html
