    try.

    Start Menu-->Control panel-->Something like "Hardware and sound"-->in there scanners and cameras.

    See if that pops up with anything, shout up if it doesn't :)

    Hello , all i can find is add hardware or scanners and cameras but cannot find reference to webcam
  • Just use Skype or MSN and it should find the web cam. It does nothing on it's own. You need software or viewer installed and running to work. Nothing to turn it on/off..no switches or button to take a photo.
