    Are there any sounds when you plug the webcam in? Sometimes usb devices take 30 secs or so to register in windows.
    How is it you going to use the webcam? If your not using My Computer its worth keeping an on it because it will pop up there.

    Try rebooting with the webcam plugged in and if nothing happens have a look in device manager.

    Try This... Uninstall the drivers(Add Remove Program or Device Manager; whereva u find them) > Unplug your webcam > Restart your computer > Install the drivers again > Then plug your webcam with your computer.... See if works like this.
