install the drivers

Answer by shazzy girl
the hardware should be on the cd that came with the webcam, when you put it in the computer you download the hardware andsetup the webcam.

You need to go back and install the webcam using the CD that comes with it. Just follow the steps to install. If you’ve done it correctly, you should get a message which says New hardware installed.
