When it's not in use, the 'active' light is always on, but when I try to use it with any application, it goes off and the camera does nothing. I've done all the logical stuff I can think of - checked the Logitech site, Googled for this error, uninstalled and reinstalled software and hardware, changed USB ports and toyed with finding a major religion to cling to, but so far nothing makes any difference... so please help me, MetaFilter friends, or Mr WebCam will become surprisingly intimate with Mr Hammer... thanks! post:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.25563 Sat, 15 Oct 2005 06:35:31 -0800 timpollard computer webcam pc technical IT http://ask.metafilter.com/25563/Webcam-Frustration#403835 What about actually getting in touch with Logitech technical support?<br> <br> For some reason, people have become astoundingly afraid and distrusting of tech support departments, which is understandable, but there are still some good, knowledgeable, english-speaking help out there. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.25563-403835 Sat, 15 Oct 2005 11:21:04 -0800 mr.dan http://ask.metafilter.com/25563/Webcam-Frustration#403939 Obvious: try it with another computer?
