I use a Philips Toucam11 webcam to keep in touch with my family in Canada.
About 2 Months ago it suddenly stopped working. I took it back to the shop
and they said I had downloaded something that was causing a conflict with my
webcam. I am not computer aware but know I had only downloaded Windows
Updates. Anyway I eventually gave up and re-installed Windows XP SP1 on my
computer. My webcam worked fine again. Being very wary of windows updates I
checked the webcam before and after doing all windows updates with no prob,
but, then I was getting Windows Messenger pop-ups telling me I had to update.
 I kept saying no but it popped up just as I was about to press the enter
button on my keyboard and hey presto after the download my webcam won't work
again.
Can anyone help me? I really don't want to re-install xp again if it can be
avoided I just want my webcam to work.
