Zoneminder setup problems - Image broken and 0.00 fps

If there is anyone out there conviced that they have set Zoneminder up right but still the link is red and there is no picture consider your web camera. I was using an old philips web cam which worked fine with Comarama(sp?) and the other one with X somewhere in the name...xtaw? But I couldnt get Zoneminder working. I went to Argos and spend 10 quid on the cheapest Logitech webcam they had and it worked out of the box (awful quality) but great to know that was the problem.

If you can borrow someones to test - do so.
