More information is needed to give you assistance.
What operating system (Win 98, Win XP, etc.)?
What type of computer & processor?
How much and what type of RAM?
What type of video card (Make & model number)?
Did the user do anything just before the problem showed up (add/remove software, upgrade the operating system, install a new video card or a new monitor, etc...)?
Is the video display the only thing you notice that is operating or displaying incorrectly?
Anything else???

If the video is like this all the time i recommend updating the video card drivers, if this only happens through the cam look for configuration settings for the video card in the control panel or your camera software...
:cool:

OK, you have a Sound Pro CMi8330/C3D Audio Adapter. You can find the driver you need at http://www.DriverGuide.com where you will have to register (free). After you register, go to http://list.driverguide.com/list/company969/index.html where you will find all of Sound Pro's products. Scroll down to your CMi8330/C3D Audio Adapter and click on it. You can download the driver from here. Or...Another source for device drivers is http://www.driverzone.com/index.html.

If Windows isn't automatically detecting the video card, you will have to tell us the exact make and model # of the card before we can tell you where to get the drivers for it.

Knowing the exact make and model of the computer itself will help too.

I had the same problem with video card when my friend was using WIN 98. All I had to do was update the drivers for video card, sound card and webcams. Then I checked for WIN 98 updates. Everything works after that.

[peoplecanbecomp]

And How Did u do that??

I collected all the names of what make and model of those video card and sound card etc.. And went to whatever the name is to download the updated drivers from their website. If you cant find the websites to those stuffs, You can find most of the drivers for just about anything at WWW.Driversguide.com. Then after all that. I also checked for WIN 98 updates and made sure it's all updated. Everything worked fine after that.
