Default web cam for Vista and Skype?

I spent an hour today unsuccessfully trying to get a Trust web cam to work
with either Vista or Skype. No dice.

Can anyone here recommend an inexpensive web cam that will work under both
Vista and Skype? First hand experience, please.

Thanks, DH

(Almost) every webcam from Logitech works with Vista.
To be sure, go to www.logitech.com, and see if there are Vista-drivers for
the webcam of your choice.

I went to their site and downloaded a beta Vista driver. It is now working.

You need to contact the support folks at Trust to find if they can resolve
the issue with Vista compatibility. Is this Vista Home Premium 32 or 64 bit?
