See if it's found...
I assume that this webcam is connected with USB.
If you boot linux, then open a terminal and use the command "dmesg", you will see what linux finds and loads when it boots. Try this without your webcam plugged into your system, then with, and look for any differences.
Otherwise, the suggestion about booting a newer version linux live-cd while the webcam is connected to see if it finds the webcam seems a good one. The webcam may not work, but you can use the terminal and the command "lsusb" and look for a listing of the webcam as a USB device. Then use this ID number to search the Internet for more information on its configuration.
