sidenote2:i dont ave a video card
ive tried many other camera apps and the result is same
Do you have very new, up-to-date hardware? If so, it might help you to use a newer kernel. You can install this with mainline.
The camera may still require permissions to be able to save images/recordings.
Can you please open a Terminal (Menu | Utilities | Terminal) and enter:
lsusb
and post back the results please

i have zorin updated
Is it better now? Can you take pictures or record videos with your cam now?
Your camera appears to work on some machines and not others with some being detected and others malfunctioning:
You have to be aware your machine was designed to work with that other OS. I recommend that you purchase a cheap usb powered webcam if you have enough ports spare. I've never had an issue with logitech cams or if you want a GNU/Linux dedicated camera:
