    Every time I open a program that used the integrated cam my computer crashes :( I've tried updating my driver (1.0.1404.1005 currently) but there isn't one listed under my dell support center.

    I'm not real sure how to view/read the error to know exactly whats going on. any help would be great.

    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps your chipset needs to be updated, webcam are usually on USB bus.

    Thank you kindly. I didn't think to try that ;) I update that, and did a clean install of the live cam software and all is good to go now! Can webcam with my family (Okinawa Japan vs Atlanta GA makes for some expensive phone bills without the cam!).

    Use the "check for update" feature built into the webcam software located in the ? tab by the mininize and exit button. Although I have a SXPS 16, my webcam software version is 1.40.35
