Answers:
look at the webcam and find out who makes it. go to the manufactures site and like logitech you go to downloads and you download the driver and software for the cam
go to logetech or whatervers website and download the software
You may try updating your webcam's driver's by downloading them either directly from the manufactures website, or from a reliable third-party site such as driverguide.com and installing them.

If that does not work, you may be running into software conflicts. Software might be found on the manufacture's website but whether or not it is free, I cannot be sure...

If you are wanting to use a USB Webcam to take stationary pictures WITHOUT the Manufacture's software, than you will probably have to keep going the way you are right now, and just make use it as a live-feed webcam for all other purposes.

But again: Try to visit the manufacturer's website and download the proper drivers, as well as any software that model of camera may have.
Look at your webcam. You'll need to determine the manufacturer of it. Then, you'll need to go to that manufacturer's website (example, many webcams are made by Logitech, you go to www.logitech.com for them) and click on their Support or Downloads section. Then look for Drivers, you'll need the model number of your webcam for this, so look on the bottom of it or back of it to find the number. Once you find the software, it should be in a .exe format which you can install. It should install drivers that are compatible with all movie recording and image capturing programs, as well as video streaming apps like IM clients where you use the webcam to talk to people.
