It was fine last time I used it, so the question is whether damage has
occurred during storage. I haven't discounted that - that's why I bought a
new one - but can't get that working at all, so far. What I did wonder about
was whether the driver had changed, and whether that could be causing
problems.

I totally accept that. I only want it for ekiga, which doesn't need a
high-res anyway. Who wants to be able to see if I've got freckles? <vbg>
My other thread is about using my camcorder, a different proposition
altogether.
