Help?

Hi I've had this webcam for about 6 mos now. Almost every pic i take is black. I have the rare occasion of it snapping what it's meant to.

This frustrates me as I spent like $45 on my webcam and it was birthday money.

Any help?

Not knowing anything about your particular webcam the one I have came with its own software which includes a snapshot feature.

Did yours and if so does this also happen with its own software?
Its probably a driver problem. Go to the Webcam Manufacturers website and check for updated/alternative drivers.
