turns out my logitech quickcam messenger (the older model) wont work with windows vista, ever. so i guess i have to get a new webcam.
any idea what'd be the best webcam for under ~$50 that'd work in vista right now? i dont really care about anything but good picture in instant messaging programs.
webcams for windows vista!

From what I understand, Microsoft's new webcams integrate really well with Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/digit ... id=lifecam
Of course, I'd do some research on them if I were you, I might be a bit biased/brainwashed

yeah, i thought microsoft's webcams would work really well in vista too... but NOPE. i mean i'm sure they will at some point, but not right now. i was thinking about the VX-3000, but it didn't seem to have any drivers for vista. most of the not-incredibly-old cams by any company will be supported, but some of em will get drivers on the third or fourth quarter of 2007 etc... that's a long time to get a piece of hardware to work. i'm sure many people dont even think about hardware compatibility when they're switching to vista and this'll be a really nice thing to realize after u've formatted your HD for a fresh install... for nothing. i think i'll just go with the STX.
