Hi!

I am having a local AITEK webcam. Now whenever i plug in my windows 7 based desktop it shows it in control panel device list but no icon in my computer so i can't use it for capturing video or images however it works with skype.

I tried connecting webcam to my HCL laptop having integrated webcam running XP. Now when i plugged in webcam it showed two webcam in my computer in laptop. One the integrated one and other the this one. Now plz tell me how can i use this webcam in win7. It came without any CD and offer plug and play.:neutral:

You can change your background to something else, like an animated wallpaper..

Chatting with unknown persons like chatroulette.com only interests for a few days..
Video chats are best if done only with communicating family members or Augmented Reality :)
