Ok;) try this:

Go to hard disk C: and open "Programme file", after try to find the webcam file programme it's well be probably the same name of the cam.

if you find it creat a chrtcute to the desktop of the programme.

good luck

some time with windows vista we can't slove the probleme, so try this solution:
go and the downlaod this smale soft it's a web cam viewer, save it in your dektop it's self-excutable, before your cam must be connected.
