Yes, I thought about that as well, but on the MSI website it says the webcam should work with the native Vista drivers. <br />
I think I will give the XP drivers a try.

Hi I have a brand new MSI X340. After I removed the usual unwanted software that comes with new computers, my build in webcam is not working anymore.<br />
It doesn't show up when I search for new hardware and it is not shown in the hardware list either.<br />
I searched the MSI site for a driver but it says that it should work with the native Windows 7 driver. <br />
Before I reïnstall my laptop, does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Webcam not found in Windows 7 (MSI X340)

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
