I have a system with XP pro,and not matter what webcam software I use:included software, yahoo, msn, timershot, and others; all I get is a black screen. It works fine as a digital camera. And even though it shows a black screen in the webcam include software, I can take a snap shot while using it as a pc cam. IT just won't let me use it as a webcam either broadcasting or offline. It simply will not show me or anyone else what sits in front of the camera. But it worked fine on my computer at home, and it works fine on the other two XP systems in the office.

Any ideas. IS there some kinda special software you have to use to be able to broadcast video in XP

Its Kodak Ez200

Also when I try to use the timershot powertoy, it shows no device installed. It showing under control panel for scanners and camera and device manager, but it almost like everythiing in windows doesn't know it's there.
