Problems with usb web cam

    Ok My dad asked me to install a webcam yesterday
    I asked him did he run the installation disk and he said Yes

    so I plugged it in and got the 'Installing drivers' message, then when complete, nothing

    it turned out he didn't install the driver after all and windows gave it a generic driver (i'm guessing here)

    when I plug it in now, I get nothing, doesn't even recognise that there is a usb device plugged in, any one any ideas?

    I tried to install/reinstall software, but as I said when I plug in the camera it fails to recognise there is even a usb device plugged in

    it is a logitech express .. tried there website nothing useful there

    which version of windows
    if XP do a system restore and try again
    Vista system restores are a little more drastic, does stupid stuff like delete downloads :(

    also check device manager to remove it

    Just uninstall in control panel or if you cant just update driver via device manager to the one thats on the cd provided? (Right click my computer, properties, hardware, device manager...)
