Alright so I have a Logitech webcam C160 and I've used it plenty of times now and I've taken good care of it. The problem is when I plug it in and go to use it, the green light flashes then turns off, doesn't show anything and won't work. Is it my computer or have I broken my webcam some how? It's not the best webcam but I got it for Christmas so it wasn't my choice. Thank you.

I would go to control panel, bring up devices, and attempt to rollback driver, reboot and test. If this did not work, verify there are not two drivers assigned to port - open device manager again off System, then check device drivers. if two - remove the second one. If still does not work remove all drivers, uninstall all software through the add/remove programs, remove device, install software, plug in device, then reboot again.

Yahoo doesnt recognise my webcam

Make sure you have all software loaded for the device. Double-check Logitech's website to make sure there are no additional drivers or upgrades needed for your webcam to work with your computer.

Once all of that is taken care of:
Go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger8/webcam/mstatestcamie.html

using Internet Explorer only (other broswers won't work)

It will prompt you to install the Yahoo Webcam Upload Wrapper plugin

Then, you should be good to go.
