Well today I went to Big Lots and bought myself a $15 Web Cam (the only one they had) and the Check out lady said she had one and it worked well. So I took it home and put in the disk and installed everything the way they said, and then I plugged the cord into the spot on back of computer (just like picture in manual) and plugged in the headset. Well then I decided to try out the software that was just installed to make a video but it said somethin like "Cannot connect to video" But it does record the sound. Grrr. So I went back to the Big Lots and asked if I could exchange it to try out another one in case it was damaged and so got home went through whole process and same things happening!! GRRR! Well just wondering if anyone here has gotten this web cam or knows more about computer than I do and can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is a USB Cam and yes I do have a USB port. So I cant figure out why its not "connecting", although Im not very good at computers. My computer is a Dell, Microsoft WindowsXP.

If you start up your computer and before starting any program. Plug in the usb cam, your computer should say new device found.
How old is your computer?
Is the cam a usb2 cam?
Does your computer have a usb2 port or are they just usb?
EDIT 8-30-07
Thanks for the extra info. It seems like that you have a USB2 cam and only a USB port. It wont work.......
