    Is there any way to configure the webcam...such as adjusting the contrast and brightness? The only way I can get to the webcam is through "my computer" or the windows explorer.

    Is there some type of software that can be used to configure the webcam?

    When I look the device properties of the hardware it says it's a Sonix webcam.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure how to adjust the webcam during normal usage, but there is a webcam configuration panel inside of Windows Movie Maker, which comes bunlded with most netbook versions of Windows XP. Works fine on my D150 with all the latest drivers installed.

    Thanks! That works very well^ You just configure the settings from "Capture video" and it keeps the settings, outside of using Windows Movie Maker. It's too bad I have to go back and forth, it would be nice if you can adjust the settings while seeing how the new settings affects your video. You change the setting, and then you have to close it and then open the camera to view how it looks.
