    Hello,
    My webcam has been working properly in the past and has just recently started giving me problems.

    Hardware ID:
    Code: 
    USB\VID_13D3&PID_5122&REV_0202&MI_00

    Only sometimes it connects through programs like MSN, Gmail, and LifeFrame. Most of the time I get a blank screen, or MSN freezes in webcam settings, and LifeFrame says that the camera is in use by another camera even if I just rebooted.
    I have tried numerous different drivers including the default one that Windows Update installs, which flips my picture upside down and still has connection problems. Something I noticed is that sometimes, when connecting, the computer makes the USB disconnection sound and either successfully connects or doesnt...

    I have tried installing the following drivers without success:
    V5.8.54000.207
    V5.8.54000.1
    Windows Update driver (year 2006)
