Problems with Logitech webcam and XP

[trickyf]

Can anyone help here. I have a Logitech QuickCam Home
configured to my XP system. I made a quick video email,
compressed it via the Windows Media 9 encoder and posted
it to my parents. I am on my parents pc now (Window 98 v2)
and the file arrives opened (i.e. not as an .exe file) as
a Windows Media file but when I click on it only the
sound plays - there is no video.

As a reference, my XP system is new and I had to contact
Logitech to get my QuickCam to work on it - by
downloading their latest software and crucially,
downloading Windows Media 9 encoder which at last allowed
me to compress video files.

Any help gratefully received.

we had the same problem with our logitech quick cam..we
had to reset our microphone preferences in the settings
section of quick cam...my sister had the same problem but
she just went out and bought the logitech pro 4000 bc it
has the microphone attatched to the cam and she said it
works great...
