lol

Was working perfectly fine yesterday, clear picture, normal, vibrant
color...

Turn it on a while ago and it's somewhat dark and green.

So I messed around with the settings a little bit, didn't seem to help
much, so downloaded a new driver for it.

That didn't seem to do much either, so I messed around with settings
some more (just bright and contrast and speed and so forth) and, all of
a sudden, the picture turns upside-down!

Now I don't know how to change it back.

I didn't change any setting that had to do with the position of the
picture.

There's something awfwy scewy going on awound heah.

Logitech Quick Cam $20 works like a dream. Do not necessarily need a
expensive one to be good.

in your computer that has attached itself to your webcam program? Stupid

well, like i say....it was working PERFECTLY yesterday...so who knows?

Could be a bug, could be faulty driver...could be anything. I just know
it'll be easier to just go out and buy a new cam for 20 bucks than it
would be to stand on my head.

LOL.

:tongue:

These things have minds of their own, I'd swear. Toss it and get a new
one. They are disposable, only a bit more costly
