Webcam Difficulties

Whenever I plug my webcam in my laptop, it starts to run slow and eventually freezes. It's a logitach quickcam. Help pl0x?

 

Do you have all the proper drivers installed?

 

If your laptop is generally slow then sometimes it can be necessary to close down all your other big programs when using a mic or webcam :/ I have to close down all my other programs if I want to use mine or I get huge lag and skipping.

 

Yes I do.

I have tried this before and it was no help.

 

This is pretty random and out of the blue, but I've got a logitech webcam too and it conflicted like a ***** with Sony Acid... so if you've got that installed that's the only experience I've had lol.

 

I have a Logitech that follows you as you move and has the 3D faces and all that crap. A friend of mine rotated it on its base with her hand and now when I plug it into a computer the computer immediately shuts off and refuses to turn back on again until I unplug it.

Logitechs are just fragile and I don't think there's much you can do. Did anybody handle it roughly before this started happening? Does it work okay on a desktop?

 

No and no.
