Hi Rory
Well, I can now see my webcam on my laptop which has IE7. I reinstalled Zone alarm and it still works.
The way I got it to work was to go to the Control Panel and select Firewall and disengage it. The Windows Firewall must have been blocking the software. Strangely, when I then reactivated the Firewall it did not block the program....?
Windows is not completely logical...
I still cannot get my webcam with WebDVR on my desktop which runs IE6. I removed Zone Alarm and disengaged the Windows Firewall but it did not do the trick for that PC. However, it seems the problem with that computer is that despite asking me to install the Kodicom Active X control, Windows will NOT actually install it (i.e. when I look at Active X controls installed on my laptop the Kodicom one is there but not when I look at TOOLS>Manage Add-Ons for the Desktop)
How can I force Windows to install the Active X control?
