I don't use a webcam, but your next steps probably should be:
First, go to the manufacturer's website and see if you have the latest
drivers and software for Vista. Also see if there is a user forum there.
Second, there are a lot of webcam threads in this newsgroup. Others are
having issues too. Scroll down and read the threads to see if your question
is already answered.
Post back with the results.
