Webcams

Hello there...

I am not altogether sure that this is the right forum for this question.

My computer is running on Windows XP SP3. I have tried to connect  three different USB web cams. Two of them are not recognised by windows, whilst my recent addition is recognised but still I can't get any video from it. The LEDs work, and other USB devices work without a glitch, so the USB connection seems to be OK. I have installed the driver, using the CD that cam with my webcam. Nothing seems to work. My webcams seem to have been voodoo-ed. Any suggestions please? Thanks!

What brand and model web cams are you using?  Have you tried both front and back USB ports?
