Yes my web cam is not working so how to get started

Dear Tori,
Greetings from New Zealand! You have not supplied much info - so we'll start from the beginning...SAFELY Remove web-cam connection - (I presume it is a USB connection?) - by R-clicking on the little icon - usally green - in the systray by the clock, & following instructions. Have you installed the web-cam "driver" software from the cd that came with the web-cam? If not then do so. Plug in web-cam USB & wait until pop-ups notify you that web-cam device is detected & ready to use. L-Click on "START" > All Programs > Web-cam program.
If this option does not work/is not available, then OPEN "My Computer" & click on web-cam icon. This should start web-cam software & you SHOULD see your smiling face on screen!
If Nothing works - then you will have to make a note of the model & contact Gateway for support.
I hope that this helps! GBU! - Bruce.

Yes you can. You can purchase any USB web cam and you should be fine.

It sounds like you need to update your driver for the web cam.
Step 1: Go to device manager
Step2: Find the web cam in the device list
Step3: Open Properties
Step4: Have the device manager search for driver.

Other option:
with the web cam unplugged from computer, in device manager uninstall the web cam, restart computer, then plug web cam into computer and let OS find and install drivers.

Here's the driver...
just click the file...and click " save " to start download....using winrar (and or winzip), extract the file and install driver for your web cam

1. a4tech PK-635 web cam (rar) file
2. a4tech PK-635 web cam (zip) file

But first connect your web cam via usb slot on your computer... wait till a message on the taskbar apper: found new hardware..once ask for a driver.. choose one from the driver and install it.

In a few minutes, your web cam will be working..

Please rate this solution if you successfully installed your web cam....thanks..

The camera has to support streaming. If there is a streaming setting in the menu, then it will work as a web cam. If not, no, it will not work as a web cam. Most movie cameras have streaming, most still cameras do not (The image resolution is WAY too high, makes the camera really slow as a web cam)

I would assume this is a built in web-cam. Normally a web-cam software comes installed on your computer and all you need to do start the software and the web-cam will start. Or you may use this link to get a free web-cam software. http://www.eyespyfx.com/my_webcam_broadcaster.htm
Note, if the web-cam is not a built in web-cam this will work a bit differently.

If the web cam is working normally with other web cam applications but MSN then it's required to configure MSN to use the web cam. Please follow the steps given below to configure MSN to use the web cam.

(i) Please ensure that the web cam is turned ON.
(ii) Then, double click the MSN icon and log on.
(iii) Click on the Tools menu, then click on the audio/video tuning wizard. Then, click Next to start the wizard.
(iv) On the first wizard page, under Camera, click the web cam then click Next.

Performing all the above steps will configure MSN to use with the web cam.
In order to start a video conversation, follow the steps given below after signing in MSN:
(a) Click Action, then point to audio/video.
(b) Then, click start a video conversation.
(c) Select a contact from "My contacts" page then OK.
