    I just bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 and I've recently been having problems with the webcam. Sometimes while I'm trying to talk to someone, the colour starts going dark to light for no reason. The only way I can fix it is if I reset the settings.

    Also, I used to have a really good feed but now the image lags and even stops and I cant get it to work properly.

    Someone help??

    I would start with re-installing the webcam software. Which programs are you using to stream? MSN or Yahoo? Have you made sure these programs are up to date? Also, if you are downloading or uploading a lot during your streams this could affect the quality as well.
