A friend gave me a cheap web cam to use. He didn't have the disc for easy installation. I went to the company’s website and downloaded the software. Now when I click the icon to run the program and I get a pop up saying “sorry, you have no video capture hardware”
Any suggestions on next steps?
(FYI: Dell laptop 4 months old running windows XP)

What kind of webcam is it?
The brand name is SIIG. It looks to be a cheap product, so I don't even know if I will want to keep it until I see the clarity.
Did it work for your friend?
He claimed it worked fine, he just wanted newer, bigger, better.
Did you reboot your computer after installing the software?
I did, as soon as the system prompted me to.
Does your hardware profiles say it is working properly?
I don’t know how to answer this question…. Not that computer literate.
Give more info and I will try to help more.
Anything else?
Thanks so much for your help,
Clayton
