That is a long shot so what I would look at first is harddrake and see what your cam shows up as. It might show up in the unknown other location. That is where my web cam and flash card reader showup. If you see something there take not of the /dev/xxx and then from console do a mount of that device. If you don't see it try a mount /dev/video and see what happens. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
