Go to support.dell.com -enter the service tag or select the model number-select webcam drivers for windows 7 or vista.- install the drivers and the issue will be resolved.


Also make sure all your updates are installed like service pack 1.

Dear DED9. there are no webcam drivers available on dell webiste.

I hope this i a inbuilt webcam..right.

Ded9

Do you see any yellow exclamation mark in device manager.

Ded9

There is no exclamation mark in device manager and its builtin webcam. Drivers are properly installed. Initially it was working proplery but from the last few days its not working now. I have uninstall and reinstall it again.

Which software are you using to check the webcam. Did u check in ymesg webcam option....webcam should show under imaging devices in device manager.


Ded9

Yes i hav checked it via yahoo and skype. webcam is not working. Sometimes its light blink but than off.

okay lets do clean boot and find out the problem.

Launch msconfig-got to startup tab-click disable all. Then go to service tab-put a check on hide all microsoft service and then click disable all. Click ok and then restart the computer.

After restarting the computer check your webcam via ymesg and skype


Ded9

The problem could be due a hard ware issue or software driver.
From your observations sounds like its a software issue.

Assuming your hardware is OKie try to do the following to
reinstall the webcam drivers

Go to the device manager and look for imaging devices.

Delete the imaging device off and shut down the machine.
On boot up windows will detect the imaging device and reload
the necessary drivers.

Use skype and test your webcam.

I have deleted the webcam under device manager and without restart i reinstall it again but again same issue.

Immediately after deleting the device.
Shutdown and restart.

Did u try clean boot.


Ded9

i have tried clean reboot but issue still not resolved. I have uninstall the drivers and than restart and than again it automatcially installed the webcam drivers and still webcam is not working.

Create a new user account..restart the computer...login under the new account and then check your webcam.

This is just a test account to find out whether its corrupted user profile...pl try it.


Ded9

I have checked using other account. Still same issue

Go to device manager- and double click the webcam driver-select details tab- select hardware ids from list - and post the ven and dev ids.
