Reference Dell Webcam Central and Windows XP (also Windows 7)

For all the frustrated Dell customers out there who bought Dell computers delivered with Dell Webcam Central, only to have the application stops working with the built-in webcam ("Please plug in a supported webcam"), here is the link to a recent version of the Dell Webcam Central application:

It is version 1.40.05.  This is the full installation, not an upgrade and includes the "Live!" Cam Avatar Creator software.  I have installed this package on my Inspiron 1012 running Windows XP Home Edition, and it works perfectly.  It is also the same version that shipped with my Studio 1558 running under Windows 7 64-bit.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think that the problem is caused when Windows Automatic Updates installs a new integrated version of the webcam driver (this is a Microsoft driver).  The old version of Webcam Central (such as 1.06 or earlier version) does not recognize the updated driver level.

Don't bother download the 'DellWebcamSW' that Support Dell continues to try to direct me to via "tinyurl.com" (http://ftp.us.dell.com/app/DellWebcamSW.exe) - it is a version older that that delivered with my Inspiron 1012 and therefore will not even install.

Dell really needs to pull together their support, at least when it comes to software.  They had download me Dell Webcam Central (at least three or four times), they sent me a CD to install the Dell Webcam Central, they even sent me a new hard drive previously imaged.  Downloads and CD always contains the same version that came bundled with my 1012, or even older, even though I told them I needed a newer version, and the new hard drive do not even have the application installed (I sent the new rear drive and kept my old drive).

And don't bother looking on the site drivers and downloads (whether through the service tag or computer model).  He is not here, for my Inspiron 1012 or my Studio 1558, or for any other model of computer, I looked.  (The Inspiron 1012 list includes even not all the same drivers that requires my computer.)

Zamolxe,

  • 'Not supported webcam' reference Dell Webcam Central?

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron M5030. I don't remember how long I got it, but I think it's less than a year. I had problems with my webcam. I tried to cam with my friend, but he said that I didn't have a webcam (when I really one). Then I open Dell Webcam Central and he said that it has not detected webcam and I had to plug a. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but nothing happened. I tried to look online, but I found results for the other models of Dell. Can someone help me out here? I'd be happy. Thank you in advance.

    TeddyBearxx,

  • Reference Dell Webcam Central & Windows 7 (Version Windows 7 of the Dell Webcam Central program)

    In other words, could someone please post a link to the Dell Webcam Central GENUINE for Windows 7 software, wherever it is on the website of drivers Dell?

    I do not mean some 3rd hokey, rate of Vista (or earlier) version of the program, but rather the version of OEM Windows 7 32-bit true Creative Labs developed specifically for Dell laptops and netbooks (and please don't refer me to the CD 'Application' that came with the computer, because it is not found).

    Dell sells laptops with the built-in Webcam Creative Labs and the Windows 7 operating system for a few months now, and I know they would not have understood the old Vista (or even XP) drivers for use with its newest operating system.

    I looked high & low and read about all the posts I can get my eyeballs on, but everyone seems to advise loading of old, obsolete Vista or XP drivers rather than the new Windows 7 ones, which were obviously having your computer, because it had Windows 7 top from departure (and it's not the scenario of "upgrade after the fact" or the other).

    So just a link, please, to Creative Labs Webcam Central program for Windows 7 Dell OEM.

    It may be that big a deal...

    P.S. I also need the tuner drivers TV Hauppauge of Windows 7 (the bunch of them) for a Mini Inspiron; they must be there somewhere, as well.

    I obviously prefer the OEM Dell version, but I DO NOT want (and not use) the older versions of Vista or XP, which seem to be available in all directions on this site; I want only the things real 'fact-for-Windows 7'

    Thank you.

    There is no Dell Webcam Central for Win7.

    When you check on the Dell / Win7 page under software compatibility, it is not there. For not to mention it is just not going to work. The webcam is fine, the software is not. Until Creative Labs cough one up. Can display on the page then Dell drivers & downloads.

    Regarding your comment about the drivers, Dell Webcam Central is an application, not a pilot. The webcam has native driver support in Windows and works on a number of machines (mine is a Latitude E6400 and a Precision M6400, Win7 64 bit for both). The issue is not the webcam itself... it's that Creative Labs has not yet re - build the application for Windows 7.

    For "True is for Windows 7 tips, Dell is not just the drivers or applications." They get the provider of OEM apps / hardware, so until that companies should meet and create it, it isn't there.

    Windows 7/8 is supposed to provide the drivers of webcam for most Dell computers. If you system needs webcam drivers, go in driver downloads & enter your service tag, and then select your operating system. If your system is in need of drivers for the webcam, they will appear under entry.

  • How do I reinstall Dell webcam central

    When I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate SP1 whenever I opened the web cam Central it completely crashes my computer. Trying to fix it I inadverdantly removed the dell webcam central from my programs. I tried restoring but files were corrupted and it opened eith no functionality. I tried to download the software from dell for dasys but for some reason any I cann ot so I searched forums help and downloadedR168730 who has reinstalled the webcam central but now it won't work telling me that there is no web cam driver installed and to recharge it disk which is not come with myinspiron a 19 idiots using led tech to tell me to go to the seller who me tell to go to dell so capture webcam 22 and no sand.

    I finally solved the problem. Reference Dell web help desk was absolutely useless, most of the solutions on the Web site does not work or I have been unable to access or they were locked up and froze the page and the clown of service had no idea finally referring me to the seller who refered me back to dell. I wrote a complaint to the Director but has not received a response. After some research, I discovered a 0800 number where I wasfinally to contact a technician curiously located in the Philippines and it has been wonderful, after accessing my system, he found the file I needed and after downloading the problem has been resolved.

  • 1545 Dell Webcam Central no audio Solution

    I have a Dell 1545 running with Vista 64 and Dell Webcam Central for the web cam. I experienced a lot of problems with the web cam. The web cam would not work & then wouldn not audio. I would like to record a video & there is no sound. My microphone does not work in the voice, or the cat. If everyone knows this problem... I found a solution that worked for me. The problem is that Dell Webcam Central installs it's own microphone settings on your portable computer called something like Webcam Dell Live!. (the exact name I'm not sure because I removed from my system... but if you follow these steps you will find. Look for something with Live! in the title under MIC) this is not built into the microphone in my laptop, & perhaps not yours. You must change the settings of your computer system & Dell Webcam Central. Go to start > Control Panel > sound > recording... on mine, there is an option for Microphone "High Definition Audio Device"... which is built into the microphone. You who want your default & apply. Then open Webcam Central Dell & option go to the "video recording". In the middle of this is a button orange with a video camera icon. Next to it on the same button is a little arrow pointing down... Click on that. Under micro... Select Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" like the sound option in the Panel. I did & it's completely fixed. I can use my built in mic in the audio/video chat & record videos with sound.

    I hope this can help if anyone has this problem!
