    Dell Webcam Not Working!
    « on: October 06, 2007, 01:25:30 PM »
    So I decided to format and reinstall Windows Vista Basic 32-Bit on my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop.  After reinstalling Windows and all the drivers for the devices, I find that the integrated webcam doesn't work for some reason.  Going into Dell Webcam Center, I set it to any of the modes (video, photo capture, etc.) and while the blue light next to the cam lights up, no picture appears, only a black box where the picture is supposed to be shows up. 

    The microphone works, and Windows' Device Manager indicates the driver is working properly with no driver problems.  I update the driver for the webcam through Windows Update, and it still doesn't work.  The webcam is manufactured by Creative Technology Ltd.  I didn't check if the webcam worked before reinstalling, so I don't know if the webcam is physically broken or is it just a driver problem?

    Thanks for any help.
