Can't find my webcam on the laptop!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built-in webcam... I had to take the laptop to get fixed so the guy had to reinstall windows vista.  It works when I have a chat on Windows Live Messanger but when I want to record or take photos with it I don't think.  And also before I had reinstalled it I got a bar at the top with internet, webcam, itunes settings and all that but I can't get the back no more. Help!

Hi Cherrydrop2165,

You might well have lost the software once you have reinstalled the operating system. You may need to go to the dell website to download the required software.

Download and install Manager from the link below dell web cam. Click the down arrow next to applications to download.

  • I work on a laptop running XP and I can't find how to adjust the brightness of the screen

    original title: screen brightness
    I work on a laptop running XP and I can't find how to adjust the brightness of the screen. He is not bright enough for the environment, in that I am currently working.
    Any help?

    Look in the BIOS (nothing to do with the operating system) and change first there - so it's also brilliant to (on battery vs. connected to power - these settings, you determine thus.)

    In Windows - you should be able to control the brightness * if * you have everything installed the appropriate drivers for your laptop * and * they chose to give you these controls (the true drivers/software from the video card manufacturer is usually done).

    Also - if the brightness is not sufficient because of the light of the Sun - then by adjusting it can't helped.  Not many mobile consumers have a screen that can be read in the light of the Sun.  There are laptops with special screens for this type of environment.  Crank your brightness might help - but if you do not have an anti-glare screen, etc...

  • touchpad doesn't work on my laptop. I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel. can you help me please?

    touchpad doesn't work on my laptop.   I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel.  can you help me please?

    Hello

    It's material is not a Windows problems.

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen - make sure that is it
    is a toggle the TouchPad that it is enabled.

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad
    entries) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary and the TouchPad makes its appearance in Device Manager: (make sure that you have restarted at least
    only once if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    ==========================================

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

  • HP110-243wb: HP 110-243wb w/Windows8.1 - where can I find my webcam my microphone and my speakers?

    Dear expert: I dropped my Dell that I got in 1998 and got this HP for Christmas. I want to try Skype and have downloaded the program. My question is this: where can I find my webcam and MIC? Thanks for any help.

    Hello again @Coloradolady1,

    Unfortunately, webcams and speakers are what are called periperal devices such as; keyboard, mouse, touch screen, graphic tablet, joystick, scanner, digital camera, video camera, monitor, projector, screen, printer, plotter, speakers, external hard drives, card readers media, digital camcorders, digital consoles, etc...

    Now some periperal devices are essential on a computer such as; keyboard, mouse and monitor so they are often provided with a PC when you buy it. Although this is not always the case, you can buy the Tower separately. If other devices like a webcam and microphone are not essential to the use of a computer are not included. This will keep the versatile unit enough that you can use the computer in various settings. Not everyone will not want or need a webcam or a microphone, they may want an external hard drive or a combination of features.

    I would recommend when buying a computer on which you inquire of what material is included in your purchase in order to get a unit that includes the elements you want in the future. In your case, I suspect that you would have received more than one HP TouchSmart all-in - One PC rather than a tower.

    Now for what webcam and microphone to get, although I personally find a webcam which has the built microphone reduce costs and ease of installation that you have only a set of drivers to worry. I would also ensure that the webcam is compatible with Windows 8.1. Except that all you need to do is follow the installation instructions.

    I hope this helps. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • How can I install my webcam without the CD?

    Need help to connect a webcam XP without CD

    Hello

     
    1. What is the serial number and model of the webcam?
    2. don't webcam invites you to the driver when you connect?
    If you plug the webcam into your computer, check to see if she's trying to get the drivers. If so, it will prompt you to insert the CD. It seems also quick get the drivers online. (Make sure that you have an active Internet connection).
    If this does not help, follow these steps.
    a. go to the manufacturer's Web site, check for the section of the driver, there also you webcam name and number.
    b. download the driver for the webcam on your computer.
    c. This will put the driver on your computer, like installing would be CD. Save the driver to your desktop, where you can easily find it.
    d. open the webcam driver file and follow the on-screen installation instructions.
    e. now, connect your webcam to your computer.

  • where can I find an email for the Apple Store? Carl

    Hello

    Where can I find an email for the Apple Store?

    Update was not available with this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. There was an error in the [[Store. I don't want to lose my money, which is more than 100 euros.

    Help, please.

    Carl

    Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

    Step 1

    If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

    Step 2

    A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

    Step 3

    If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

    If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

    Step 4

    If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

    Step 5

    In the App Store menu bar, select

    Store ▹ view my account

    Enter your Apple ID to the command prompt. In the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the reset button. Close the window.
