and what about the option to install another webcam?
some shops offer the possibility to bring stuff back when it is not damaged.
(most of them
will pay cash back too in my country)
Maybe you can buy one, if it works then you know the problem is something
with the
webcam or driver from the webcam. If it's not working, then you can check
other things.
I got once usb1 cam plugged into an usb2.0 card. Got lots of trouble.
After buying an usb2.0 cam it works fine.
Maybe it is the usb slot itselfs, there are active and passive usb slots.
Hard to explain, but see it as if there is power on the usb slot itselfs.
Usb1 slots will often not recongnize the newer usb harddisks which don't
need an external power supply.
The power comes from the usb slot. Same problem with my scanner. It needs
the power from the usb slot,
there is no power supply needed for it.
But some usb slots are 'passive', and will not work with my scanner.
Solution is to buy (try) an usb hub with power suppy.
Succes with it !
