Creative Webcam Instant USB works fine with Camorama, Cheese, and Skype, but the image freezes and Camorama and Cheese also freeze after a few seconds. Tried the webcam on a Windows 2000 machine and it works fine. I have to force quit Camorama, and if I restart it, webcam again works for a few seconds. Any ideas?
