Try to reinstall cam driver or look for other versions. If this cam is in the compatibility list, there is necessarily a way to make it run.
Do you get more frames with the cam out of Freetrack? Try another compression too.

Sorry, if no one replies to your question. It's probably because nobody has a response to it. So, multiplying topics doesn't helps either. :unsure:

You are right, I am sorry for that.

Steph, thank you for replying.

"Do you get more frames with the cam out of Freetrack?"
I don't know were to look to see the framerare. I only see it in freetrack.
"Try another compression too."
What do you mean by that? And how should I change the compression type?

In Cam-window klick on "Stream" and in "capture properties" find "compression". Try different compressions , RGB 24, I420, CJPJ, RGB 555. Some Webcams are limited to one or two types.
Check the other settings too, in particular "output size". The lower this size the higher your framerates. You can find a description in the Freetrack handbook  page 9

In that list there is only one compression format, YUY2.
In the handbook i found on page 9 "Force Exposure function" wich i cannot find in freetrack v2.2 ...
Also, as you can see, the compression tab is completly unaccesible to me, and Vistaenabler did not function on those buttons...

Decrease your output size from 640x480 to 320x240 and see if that change anything.
Isn't there a program coming with your cam driver, that allows you to change settings?
