Can't install drivers for webcam and others

I had The Hinge Problem(TM) and got my display replaced earlier this week. It's beautiful.

But I can't use the Webcam. The drivers won't install. Windows says it's unable to find the driver software for my device. I tried a Repair of Command Center.

But I rooted my phone this weekend and I had to use my wife's computer because the M11x won't install the Motorola drivers. I think they're related. But I don't know what to do, short of a full reinstall.

Any suggestions?

I have a feeling the inability to install webcam drivers is related to the inability to install the Motorola drivers.

i doubt they are related... (the drivers)

But, it is either windows not quite working or whoever did the replacement forgot to plug in the webcam cable (i am unsure if the webcam/mic are separate on m11x, can't remember. I am sure they were separate on few laptops i owned, so i assume)

Well, another part was damaged while he was replacing the display, so I'll mention it to him tomorrow.
