gitbox: webcam installation, it says, you have no “video capture hardware” ???
Do i have to have a vga card installed on my computer to run a webcam? I don’t think there is one installed on this computer, i checked “properties”, it said there are no pc cards installed! The drivers did download properly for this webcam, but it won’t work, any suggestions would be appreciated, thanx. The brand name for the webcam is Amcap.

Such models of Camera maybe the kind which needs its own dedicated Video Capture Card. Some Cameras perhaps like the one you mentioned need their own Video Capture Hardware.
They will, then, double as a Graphics Adapter card and also a Video Capture Card. Even if you do have a Graphic Adapter card it still stand true that you do need a Video Capture Card to use with this Camera.
Also, here it appears Amcap is merely a software that works a webcam. In this case you should google as to how to make your brand of Webcam work with the Amcap Software. This is to say to get the make and model of your camera and do a Google search for instructions specific to make your camera work.
Answer by cffdrnkrIF you have Windows XP, Windows Movie Maker can do the trick.
Check the Microsoft Update Page and see if you can download it. I got my free when I upgraded to XP. It was in the box.
Just opened my and told it new, it turned on my webcam and started recording.
Answer by BobAMCAP is a crappy brand. your best bet is to go out and get a quality cam. I know, I made the mistake and bought one.
Most cameras want you to install the software prior to plugging in the USB for the camera. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly.
It could be possible that you don’t have the correct drivers for your camera. If it new from a retail box, it should have the correct disk but if you bought it off of EBay without drivers, sometimes they can be difficult to find.
What Operating System are you using?
What is the Product ID Number or/and Serial Code of the Camera?
I might have drivers for you.
go to the website and download one
