872996 2010-04-05 01:56:00 Search for the "Camera Assistant Software" It is likely to be already installed on your system. CliveM (6007)
872997 2010-04-05 01:59:00 Move your cursor to about 2/3 of the way up on the left hand side of the screen and a 'slide-out' control will appear .

All of your webcam functions can be controlled from there .

or . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Try going into the windows Vista control panel, opening the Device manager, opening the Image devices folder and uninstalling the Chicony USB camera .

After rebooting, the web camera software, a toolbar that comes out of the left-hand side of the screen when you move the mouse there .

Or . . . . . . . . . . . you can also start the software by going into Start / Programmes / Camera Assistant .

Whether or not this software is running, you might be able to start the webcam using the [Alt] - [F7] shortcut .

873001 2010-04-05 04:05:00 Is it enabled in the BIOS?? jwil1 (65)
873002 2010-04-05 06:12:00 Don't think you have to enable it in your bios. I just bought a web cam last Thursday for my Desktop Windows 7 PC. Installed the software, started Skype did the webcam settings and everything worked.
