Original title: built in webcam 1.3

Hi, Nancy,.

Control Panel > add a device

Windows will search for devices connected to your system, but not installed. Click on the name of the webcam which shows in the search box and then click "next".

Choose whether you want Windows to search for the device driver webcam using Windows Update on the Internet, or if you prefer research of Device Manager to the driver using a disc provided by the manufacturer of your laptop. Most of the drivers are on the system recovery disk included with your laptop, if you choose to add the driver from the disk. Check the box of your choice, then click on "next >" to continue.

Wait while Windows searches from the driver using Windows Update, if that is your choice. There's an active Internet connection for Windows to do successfully. Allow the computer to install the driver and then restart the system for the webcam to be recognized by the system.

Otherwise, you can use the system recovery disk or a driver downloaded directly from the manufacturer of your laptop to install the driver without using search Windows Update.

Open the CD/DVD-ROM drive and insert the disc of recovery system or place the driver downloaded from the manufacturer in a directory of files easily accessible on your PC, or on the desktop, or in your 'My Documents' folder.

Choose the option 'install the software automatically (recommended)' into the application 'Add a device', then press on "Next >" to start looking for your webcam driver. The Hardware Wizard will search the system recovery disk and automatically installs the driver. Press 'Finish' to close the wizard, and then restart the computer to allow the recognition of the webcam. Choose the option "Install the software manually" in order to access the location of the driver where you saved the driver and install it from there. Use the open file manager and search for the driver. Click on the ' next > ' button to install the driver, and then restart the computer to add webcam functionality. -ehow.com
