Microsoft Lifecam x-3000
i just got a webcam the other day. i installed it and everything required to
set it up and it was working fine. Then today when i woke up i wanted to use it and it doesn't work anymore. When i try to take a video or picture, the area where i am supposed to see myself is just black. The usb is plugged in and the light to indicate the webcam is on is on. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it still doesn't work. I do not understand why it worked fine yesterday and today it doesn't work. I did not change anything or do anything to my computer that might effect it. I have no clue what to do. |

jessy,
This is very strange. Can you try rebooting your PC? Also try plugging and re-plugging the LifeCam (if that doesn't work, try a different USB port). Let me know if any of this helps.
