Under XP. When I open any programs with my webcam. My Mouse Locks up, along with my webcam. Even when I go to control panel under camera/scanner. It locks every time. Its not detecting it in Admin Tools. I dont know whats making it lock up. They aren't sharing .DLL's. I am at a lost

You might want to update your XP through the Windows Update option. That might actually solve your problem. If not...

Go to Contol Panel, on classic mode, then go to System > Hardware > Device Manager and check both peripherals. Check if they are sharing IRQ's

Hope this helps... Networker1 - Rent-a-PCTech.Com

I been there and they aren't sharing IRQ's. Also XP is up to date.
 
It's known that Intel's cams and video apps give certain amount of trouble, even under W98. Try using another cam and see if the problem re-occurs. Also check for any updates to the webcam's driver from Intel. Networker1 - Rent-a-PCTech.Com
