Hello

Sound like there may be hardware problems so check with a real computer store
(the advent of services internal) or the Support of Advent (see links below).

Troubleshoot camera connection
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

You probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera (general control software
included with the drivers and installed at the same time).

Login as an administrator.

Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera - double
Click on it and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who cannot do anything
that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). The RIGHT CLICK on the camera - UNINSTALL
-REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver of the camera and other partners
the camera software (if not more recent get the same).

Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each
pilot.

Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.

Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers that are often
older than those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot can HIDE and watch
manually to see if their really is a more recent version (both system and the manufacturer of the device manufacturer
sites).

    Hello

    Try doing a system restore. Go to the SEARCH bar and type system restore.
    Once the System Restore screen, select a restore point (it must be before the problem occurred), launch it. Check.
    You can also update the drivers of your computer (the webcam driver). If you do not know how to locate, you can use RadarSync to find out-of-date drivers.

    I am running win7. Trying to get built in webcam to work. Help.

    Hello Jerry,.

    Go to Dell.com site, click technical support. It will then ask for your service tag. It's a sticker on the bottom of your laptop / inside the battery compartment. Enter it in the space provided and the site will return a list of drivers for your system.

    There is no charge for this. I have a Dell laptop and have been there several times for it free of charge. Otherwise, feel free to post your service tag and I can get the link of the place for you.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    Kind regards
