    There are updates to Roxio Create DE and Roxio Update Manager. The latest updates are from October 2008. Maybe they would solve the problem?
    Or can you not run Update Manager at all?

    My E6400 came with a CD marked "For Reinstalling Dell Webcam Central for Business". I believe this is a Dell-branded version of some webcom software from Creative. The update John Ratsey is talking about (WebCam software) is an update to Dell Webcam Central and it requires the original version to be installed first.

    Install in this order:
    1. Creative Labs Integrated Webcam driver. Download from Dell.
    2. Dell Webcam Central for Business. Install from CD supplied with computer.
    3. WebCam software (update to Webcam Central). Download from Dell.

    I have tried the latest version and it is a nice addition to get to a preview window.
