Not sure if this is the right place, but it is an imaging device. :p

Pretty much, I use it all the time on Skype, I even used it a lot yesterday. Then about 12am, my system tells me I have no webcam hooked up. But the webcam shows to me it's active, it lights up(Has 4 leds on the front of it), yet my system is not detecting it. I tried different USB Ports, uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, and still nothing. The webcam is a Xtatix Peeper XCA-PP1 if anyone needs that. Any advice would be awesome.

Done and worked fine on other computer.If it still doesn't work on this computer, there is something wrong with the install or drivers. You could re-download the install and FORCE (might have to hit it ;)) it to use the drivers you want. :D

Are you using Vista??
Recently my friends vista pc stopped recognising hardware that was working fine before (SATA drive, Webcam & writepad) he put his disc in and did a vista repair and they work fine again...
