please someone help

 

Because I do not know your Webcam Model so you can search it here :

yes, we need the model of your webcam so we can see if there are drivers for windows xp.

 

well ok ..i tried website drivers and they didnt work at all...i tried installing and uninstalling still same error message...webcam model is Dlink 1.1 DSB-C310 webcam

 

When you say windows home edition, do you mean windows XP home edition?

 

when you say you tried website drivers, do you mean these
http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=144&sec=0#drivers

 

yes i mean that link which you provided above by website drivers and yes of course i mean xp home edition
specs: 7 year old computer
50 gb hdd
655 Mhz cpu
256 mb RAM

 

Why don't you have a go at a manual install

In the Control Panel start the Add Remove hardware wizard

Select Add a new hardware device

Select the hardware is already connected

Select Add a new device

Select Install the Hardware that I manually select from the list, next

Select show all devices and choose webcam (or similar)

Select 'have disk' and point to the driver file

Follow the instructions... and reboot.

I have typed this from memory so if someone could just confirm that I have not missed a step

Good Luck
