Webcam keeps disconecting!!!
Hello. I have used the search bar but haven't found anything useful to my situation, so I hope someone tech savvy is on!!! My webcam kept disconnecting from all cam sites last night. It would stay connected maybe two minutes, then disconnect. It is very frustrating because this caused me to make only a few dollars. I recently cleaned out my computer because there was a lot of corrupted files due to adware. After cleaning I still had the same issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you try switching USB ports?

Tried, and tried in gaming computer too. Same effect. Thank you though!
Re: Webcam keeps disconecting!!!
Sounds like you need to get a new one.
If switching usb, reinstalling the drivers and testing on a different computer comes to the same result, then it's time to order a new one.
Re: Webcam keeps disconecting!!!
Are other things working just fine in your usb ports? If it's not your ports being wonky(I ask because the ports in my toshiba laptops always gave me problems) I would try uninstalling and reinstalling your webcam software and if that doesn't work you'll probably have to buy a new webcam, they tend to disconnect by themselves as they're beginning to crap out.
If you open the webcam in the webcam software like as if you were going to record a video does it still disconnect?

I'm just gonna have to save up for a new webcam. I need one of a higher quality anyways! Thanks ladies. The software is still recording but it might be time to upgrade.
