Hello I'm looking for some help regarding my dell inspiron 1420 webcam. I recently did a fresh install and reinstalled all my drivers but afterward I could not get my webcam to work. It is not appearing in the device manager and after installing the driver from the website I get an error.

I found some other people in the following thread with the same problem:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/del...atitude-e6400-webcam-after-clean-install.html

Their solution was to use the CD which I no longer have or to download it from a link (which is now broken). Does anyone have or know of a place for me to download the CD?

I have the same laptop so know this model pretty well...

Here is the webcam manager:
Drivers and Downloads | Dell [United States]

The installer is a little bulky, but you only want the webcam center...When installing, be sure to choose the custom, then choose only the webcam center, it's about 11MB.

If you want to use the webcam through a third party software like online chatting, the following driver might be needed too:

Hope this help
