My CD ROM is not working, Is there a way I can still install my webcam, the
disk drive won't spin or read

Try going to the web site of the manufacturer of the webcam and look for for
the driver there under downloads or software or drivers etc.

If the webcam needs files off the CD, you need to get those files on
the computer.
CD drives are cheap, buy another.
Or you can copy the CD on another computer over the network to the
computer with the bad drive.
