Hello. I'm not really sure if this is the right place to post this, so I apologize if it isn't. I'm using some C programs in Visual Studio 2008 that require camera input. When I use an external USB camera, they work fine. However, when I try to use a build-in Chicony camera (on my laptop), the video window that pops up just shows a black picture. Does anyone know what might cause this and how I can fix it? I'm not very good with programming, so a simplistic explanation would be appreciated. Thanks for any help.

Do you have a CD or any installer of your new cam? try to reinstall it.. then if nothing happens, just tell us...
