Try turning off "User Controls" The path is: Start/Control Panel/User Accounts. At the bottom of the right window, click on "Turn User Account Control on or off".

Basically Windows Vista doesnt support unsigned drivers.The best thing to try is to go to the website of The webcam manufacturer and get the latest driver.Try flashing the BIOS to the latest version for your computer vendors website.If that doesnt resolve try your webcam on a system with XP to make sure the device is fine.Try updating the USB drivers as well.

well if you have the software for the webcam try reinstalling it
the drivers are on the disk although you may have to update or download them as you already did, i have had this happened a few times, i just kept trying with find new hardware wizard
and rebooted a few times then the computer fount it
hope this was some help
