I think what I am in need of is a simple method of one either forcing recognition of the camera, or two, finding a simple program that will manage the camera apart from windows, since Vista isn't doing it. -Schmidtw Thanks, I know how to restore, but I fail to see how restoring the computer would bring the webcam back…as the user reports it never worked to begin with.

No driver updates have been installed since the original image (it's pretty new)...so the roll back option is not available. Also, the only listing in program files that makes use of the camera is the "Uninstall Webcam" executable, and there is no other software on the machine just for the use of the webcam. I can open up windows movie maker and see if it will recognize the camera. Another problem: On Stickam.com the camera is not recognized soon enough for the "Go Live" option to work. If a session is joined, then it will recognize the camera. Do you know any software that manages webcams? -Schmidtw Let me clarify…
