    I don't know why, but now my orbicam just shows a blank screen. yesterday it was working perfectly and i just tried to go on webcam and now all i see is a blank white screen. checked all the settings and stuff. It's a brand new laptop and i don't have a clue what to do with the non-working webcam! :(

    I had a problem with my orbicam (see http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/index.php?t-96560.html )

    Strangely, the problem now seems to have gone away. The orbicam didn't work, but after going online and trying the webcam in msn messanger/skype (can't remember which), the camera seemed to be initialised correctly, and so far I can use it offline without any problems.
