    As the title suggests, my R2's webcam is no longer detected. Does anyone have a link to the drivers? I can't find it through Google.
    However, there is no 'Unknown Device' in the device manager -- could this mean the webcam has been unplugged somehow?

    Thanks!

    The same thing happened to me after I tried to mess with the registry settings to get back the original alien display screen on startup and logoff. I had to restore the registry settings. I also lost youcam after clean install. What was happening was the cam was being detected as a USB. What you might try to do is uninstall the camera in devices and reinstall that might work. If that doesnt work set back your registry settings to what they were. Also reinstall youcam if you still got it.
