So I bought a new Hithot H-400 webcamera and found the same problem once again. Every time I plug it into the USB port on my computer, it installs the hardware automatically and say if I have, for example, msn messenger open, it will stay working until I close it and try to re-open it, same goes for any other program that requires an internet connection.
Just for reference, I am on a 1mb NTL cable internet connection.
