Howdy great peeps,

Got me a new WebCam yesterday & installed the drivers for it, but after that during dinner I inserted a DVD into my drive but it wouldn't read it it.

Then I went into My Computer to see that it has disappeared from there, along with the Virtual Drive.. (I know that it was working just before I installed the WebCam drivers).

And when I logged in today I saw Windows trying to automatically install the driver, with no success :(

So installed the drivers I found on the manufacturer website, but that wouldn't help too. THEN went into "Device Manager" and both were in there, but when I right clicked it for info it said:
"Windows cannot load the device drivers for this hardware. The drivers may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

I would appreciate ANY help you can give me!

Mike
