    Hi,

    I have Studio 1555.

    After I have been installed the webcam driver and its webcam central,
    windows 7 didn't start anymore and get "blue screen" with this error code:
    0xc000000e
    and it say that one of the devices is inaccessible.
    So I assume it's due to the webcam installation.

    The only solution was to reinstall Windows7.

    How can I install this webcam driver so windows will could be start,
    and won't crash at the boot process.

    Thanks.

    Have you tried booting into safe mode?

    Here's a tip make sure your connected to the net when your installing Win7 this way you should get all if not most drivers installed without issues.

    It's even didn't let me try the "safe mode", it's always back and show the error screen.

    I will try to check if there is an update to the driver (althoug I don't know if the problem was the conflict with the driver or with the software which become with the installaion of the driver).
    Also, at his moment DELL support nut fiully support Win7, so I don't know if the drivers will...

    I'm a little afraid now to install it because I don't want my OS will fail again (install it again, drivers, softwares etc...)

    Then it's not a driver problem. Booting into safemode should not load any drivers except the essentials.

    If you hit the F8 key during the BIOS screen then gives a BSOD.Either your F8 key isnt working or something in the BIOS is causing it.

    Did you install the driver off the install disk from Dell or off the web site? The drivers are different.

    I had trouble with the one off the website not the disk

    also I agree with the other person make sure you are on the web, Win 7 is really good at updating drivers.

    I installed it from Dell CD's which I got with the laptop.

    and OneCool, the answer is yes.
