    xtee, that's odd.. very odd. My driver is the exact same as yours. And, regardless of drivers it really shouldn't be displaying those colored bars like a TV station just went off air. I thought I had my original driver CD with me, but it's not in my bag. I will make an attempt to find it within the next day or so when I get home. Til then, uninstall the Webcam thru device manager and let it re-install. Oh, if you're trying to do live video chat.. are those bars what the other person sees? Or, just what you see?

    you need to tell your programs to use the camera, i had the same problem and it ended up being the programs were using default device, and it wasnt the camera for some reason.
