Hi, new to the boards, hope this is okay to post in this thread.

This webcam has been driving me nuts.

The ID is:

Any help would be appreciated

Troubleshoot: Windows Won't Recognize Your USB Drive
General Info and Troubleshooting

Updated 11/17/09

Intro
There are many different reasons why Windows may
=> Windows stops recognizing your USB drive or
=> Windows no longer displays the USB drive's familiar drive letter in Explorer or My Computer or
=> Windows reports the device is write protected
=> Windows reports it can't read the device (e.g. it says the drive is unformatted or a raw filesystem or reports the incorrect partition size)

You'll find a number of troubleshooting steps below as well links to related USB topics
  • If you’re not familiar with USB troubleshooting, suggest you
    > First start by going through the General Steps
    > Followed by the Additional Steps and related links as might apply
  • Otherwise, feel free to start and use the information below however you see fit!
Related LinksTroubleshooting
1. General Troubleshooting Steps for: All USB storage device problems
  • Run Windows Update
    => Windows has a long history of USB problems and bug fixes
  • Uninstall then re-install your USB storage devices (such as USB CD/DVD, flash and hard drives)
    => Your system may still have old USB installation data which conflicts with USB devices you're now trying to use
  • Unplug other USB devices
    => A different USB device might be the real root cause of your problem
    • Unplug your other USB devices to take them out of the equation when you’re testing and trying to fix your USB drive
    • It’s OK to leave USB mice and keyboards plugged in. However
      >> Note some tests in this Guide that specifically require otherwise
      >> If you have the option to use a non-USB mouse and keyboard while testing, IMHO "you may as well use ‘em"
    • Undock any docking stations. Disconnect hubs
    • Plug your USB drive directly to your computer (Don’t use external USB hubs while testing unless noted otherwise!!)
  • Connect AC adapters
    => Don’t rely on USB ports for power when you don't have to. If your USB device has its own AC adapter, use it!
    • Connect USB drive AC adapters even if "the adapter is supposed to be optional" or "you never had to connect it before"
      >> Note: A device LED only indicates the device is getting some power but doesn't mean the device is getting enough power!
    • Plug-in laptops
  • Check hardware connectivity for possible points of failure
  • Check if Windows filter drivers may be the problem
    => Bad or corrupt filter drivers can cause CD/DVD, flash and hard disk drives to not work correctly
  • Check the USB Storage device driver
    => If no USB storage devices can connect the driver might be disabled (may be a sign of malware)
    • Connect the USB storage device
    • Run Serviwin. Click View->Drivers
    • Scroll to USBSTOR. Verify StartupType=Manual and Status=Started
    • If StartupType= Disabled, rt click to change it to Manual. Reboot
  • Reinstall the USB controllers and motherboard chipset drivers
    => When it appears that your USB ports just aren't working right
2. Additional Steps when: USB Drive Doesn't Appear in Explorer or My Computer
If the USB drive appears in Device Manager but not in My Computer or Explorer
  • Check Windows policy settings in the registry
    => Windows may be configured to hide drives from view in Explorer and My Computer
    • Click Start->Run, enter regedit to open the Registry Editor
    • Navigate to key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor er
    • Look for a value named NoDrives. If the key or value doesn't exist, there's nothing being hidden
    • Otherwise, rt click NoDrives then delete it and reboot to unhide all drives
  • Fix Drive Letter Conflicts
    => Your USB device may be trying to use a drive letter reserved by a different device or prior installation
    • Use the DriveCleanup tool (see above) to uninstall then reinstall USB storage devices
3. Additional Steps when: Write Protected, Raw Filesystem, or for General Read/Write Error Messages
  • Check/fix filesystem
    => If the drive is detected and is assigned a drive letter
  • Check if Write Protection enabled
    => If all your USB storage devices appear to be write protected
    • Click Start->Run, enter regedit.
    • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
    • If sub-key StorageDevicePolicies exists, rt click then delete it
  • Data Recovery
    => TestDisk and PhotoRec are freeware tools. (The one download gives you both)
    • TestDisk can help recover corrupt partitions
    • PhotoRec focuses on recovering recovering Photo and Image files
    => Some "Try then Buy" tools for recovery below. I've never used either but
    > I've seen people often (not alway) post good results
    > The tool will report (for free) the files it can find. You'll need to buy it before it actually attempts to recover the files
    • Partition Table Doctor
    • Get Data Back
4. Additional Steps when: All Else Fails
  • Data Recovery
    => Recovering from a damaged flash drive
  • Reformat the Drive
    => Click for info to reformat your drive
