I plugged it in
When you plug in the camera does vista show that new hardware is found and if any lights are on the device do they come on?. Can you see any image of a PC card on the status bar near the time , if you do then double click it and it will open the hardware wizard that is looking for the drivers and if you have internet connected to then it should find the drivers automatically. Were you using this cam with Vista before or Windows XP ? Try installing the driver that is on the CD that came with the camera or download from his location
http://www.macally.com/techsupport/drivers/IceCam_setup.exe
The cam should work without the driver on windows but sometimes it might not find the right one.
