Why would you downgrade to Vista?
Obviously, you didn't check the net on why Vista sucks so bad...
Let me help you get started...
1) Third party drivers/applications are not allowed unless “approved” by Microsoft. Some of your favorite software won't run on Vista because the drivers have not been "approved" by Microsoft. This also means that the digital camera you just bought may not be "allowed" to connect to the PC.
2) Most security software will run but is limited because of “PatchGuard” and denied access to the kernel.
3) DRM is integrated – IF you even get to the point of copying something, ALL media copied thru Vista is SERIOUSLY degraded. The mp3s that you rip, are not allowed to be full quality. Same with DVD's.
4) You give Microsoft the right, through programs like Windows Defender, to delete programs from your system that it decides are spyware.
5) Takes up too much of the already strained resources.
6) You consent to being spied upon by Microsoft, through the “Windows Genuine Advantage” system. This system tries to identify instances of copying that Microsoft thinks are illegitimate. Unfortunately, a recent study indicated that this system has already screwed up in over 500,000 cases.
7) More licensing restrictions – Depends on which of the 6 different versions you get.
8) A lot of your software will need to be reactivated – Hopefully you still have those license keys.
9) Firefox is NOT allowed as default browser…No matter what!
10) Backup software crashes because of too many nested folders. Even tho it worked with XP.
Personally, if XP ever goes out of support, I'm going Linux

Lots of different types of software were not made for windows vista because it's such a new OS. Also, yes do go to the webcam co's website and see if they have any drivers for win vista but as the guy above me said, if they don't you are out of luck.
Until Windows Vista is widely implemented, in about 6 months time, most programs and softwares will not be compatible with it yet.
MY ADVICE? REINSTALL WINDOWS XP ! I am not going to install windows vista for at least 6 months to a year when most programs and softwares are compatible with it.

Maybe your webcam driver is not compatible with Vista. Go to your Webcam company and download the new driver.

the situation with Vista with regards to anti-viruses is that Microsoft did not touch any anti-virus business company to enhance their patches to artwork with vista, bcoz solid outdated bill needed homestead windows to be a stand on my own utility so he created his own anti-virus that's Win Defender. yet microsoft is an OS business company not an anti-virus business company so Defender is crap. So in view that anit-virus softwares at the instant are not a hundred% properly matched with vista, once you install an anti-virus to vista (assuming you could installation it in any respect) the effective aspects for that anti-virus is honestly not carried out a hundred%, it wont completely artwork. a pair of weeks in the past I examine in laptop handbook that so some distance McAfee and Norton are nevertheless making patches for vista on their utility. Even on line anti-virus scanners at the instant are not a hundred% properly matched with Vista. So we could provide solid outdated bill a super applause for his stupidity :-D
