Lifecam was fine for XP & Vista but not for windows 7 or 8 so if you're using the newer widows I suggest buying a Logitech 9000 or better, they work with everything. If not this might point you in the right direction, you med the drivers for your version of the camera e.g. 2.1, 3.0, 3000 Microsoft Hardware
