It must be a bad CD or CD drive....

Question
Are there common reasons for error 1308?
Answer
Generally:
Bad Driver/Device, Bad Media, Bad Package are the most common sources. The most common path to eliminating the driver/device from the equation, is to copy to the local hard drive like the media copy instructions in this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307372. I do not know of general techniques to eliminate bad media other than having customers request new media. Bad packages are generally from poor production process and occasionally from incomplete designs.

Quickcam Pro can be down loaded from the link below
