Try it with Vista--a lot of programs that work with xp, also work with vista.

If you are presenting this question, I am assuming that you did try it with Vista, and it failed. Sadly, this is one of the flaws of Vista. To be secure, it only allows certain programs to work with the OS. Thus, if your web camera does not work with Vista, then you can not use it.
Thus, you must either purchase a new web camera that is compatible with Vista. Or, you could purchase a copy of XP and set up a dual-boot. Thus you could just boot the system in XP when you want to use the web camera.
Good luck!

Try it with Vista. Often the XP drivers will work in Vista. If not, check the web site of the manufacturer of the web cam. They may have Vista drivers available as a free download.
