It sounds like you're trying to launch the webcam correctly, but the  
DirectShow plugin isn't working properly.  If you're inclined to poke  
at the source code, you can take a look at DShowVideoController.  If  
you're very enthusiastic, you might even look at the plugin source  
code: http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/DShowVideo/index.html

I have gotten good results by using ManyCam (http://www.manycam.com/)
without the cool effects that it can add.  It seems to recognize a
wide variety of webcams and makes up for any differences that the app
would otherwise see.

Hi I think I've found the problem.
It appears that the extend that is used to define the buffer for passing images from the plugin to squeak is "hardcoded".

I've added a one line change to KVideoGrabberWin32>>ensureInitialized to correct this.
