My computer doesn't detect the connected webcam. It happened with my old trek 320 webcam and I tought there was a compatibility issue so I purchased a new logitech c120 webcam but I have the same problem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling (several times) the logitech webcam software, logitech drivers and drivers from the Device Manager and still cannot use it. The system recognizes it as the image device in Device Manager, it appears in Devices and Printers and in Properties says that it's functioning correctly, it also appears in the list of usable video devices in messenger and logitech software even shows it's connected. But when I want to take pictures or video with logitech software it gives me the error message: "No logitech webcam detected" and ask me to check the webcam is properly connected to the USB port, wich it is, in fact I've tried all ports in my desktop with no response. And messenger won't let me use it either. So it's installed but useless. The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bits. Thanks for your time.

I think logiteck is a scam. they know it doesn't work on most computers but they keep selling them. they need to recall and make usefull ones. I live on a tight budget and they screwed me. hope you're making a lot of money off of screwing people!
Logitech is NOT a scam. The problem isn't the device it's your computer. I work on computers for a living and I use Logitech as my choice for all peripherals. I recently purchased a Logitech webcam for one of my clients and it would not install. I tried everything I know to try to resolve the issue. Eventually I took the camera to one of my own Windows 7 machines and plugged it in and it detected the camera right away. The problem is your computer not the webcam. I bought a different webcam for my customer and tried it and again the same problem. I bet if you try the webcam on another computer it will work just fine :)
