My computer recently went through a crash where all my files were deleted and Windows XP has been reinstalled. Today, I reinstalled my webcam. It's a GE Easycam Pro. I have never before had a problem using my webcam.

After installation, I clicked on WDM CAPTURE, and an error message popped up saying, "SORRY, you have no video capture hardware." Why is this suddenly happening and how do I get the necessary hardware again?  what type of connection is your camera? USB maybe? When you re-installed windows, did you install the propar drivers for the USB from your motherboard diskett?yes, it's a USB webcam. As for what I installed, I just let the Windows XP CD do it's work, so... I don't know if it ignored the driver in question.  :-/well windows XP is your operating SYSTEM, Try browing your mobo disc for a USB folder or a drivers folder, if you pop-in the CD it should have an auto-run, and you need to install the mobo drivers onto your new OS, that's probably your problem.
