Hi srnerkar45,

The reason why the webcam of your computer wont work is because of missing camera driver. Activating the camera would be so easy if you only have the driver that is compatible with the new operating system of your PC. Based on the official support download site they only have camera driver that is compatible with windows Vista (the original OS that came with your computer). The only way to activate your camera is installing again the original OS and driver that can be found on this link. Just go to the camera section and download the file.

--> You may also try to check this link. Hope that the driver for the specified machine will run on your system. At least give it a try. Don't forget to press the FN+ESC to activate the camera.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

How to begin using webcam

On Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can usually just plug in the webcam and wait a few seconds for Windows to automatically install basic/generic "driver" software which allows the webcam to work. You can check if the webcam is recognised and installed by going to Control Panel/Device Manager. In the Device Manager window locate and click on "Imaging Devices" to see your webcam listed. If there's a yellow exclamation point (!) or nothing listed under Imaging Devices then the webcam is not installed. In this case unplug the webcam, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in and see what happens.
With some webcams you must install software and drivers BEFORE you plug the webcam in. In that case, unplug the webcam then install drivers from a CD included with the webcam or download the drivers from the maker's website and install them. Make sure to choose the driver version specified as compatible with your version of Windows. After installing the drivers, restart the computer and wait for it to boot up fully, then plug in the webcam and see if it works.
One last possibility is that your webcam is too old to work with newer Windows versions. For example, we have an old Kodak DVC325 webcam which worked OK in Windows 98, ME, and Windows XP with SP1 and SP2, but it does NOT work in Windows XP with SP3 or any newer Windows version. Too bad, really, because it's a darn good little webcam!

It is a DRIVER issue. You DO NOT have the right driver for your webcam and Win7. Try the XP Drivers. Here is how to Install them so they work. Download your XP driver you wish to install. If it's in a zip/rar file then extract it to your desktop. You should have a simple .exe file sitting on your desktop to install the drivers, as normal for XP. Right click the .exe file and select "Properties". Then select the tab called "Compatibility" Now check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Make sure "Windows XP Service Pack 2" is highlighted. Now apply the settings and run the installer. This should work for most drivers, but not all
