    Hi There! I just got an A4000 today for christmas. When I upgraded to windows 7 my webcam stopped working. The driver details say "USB 2.0 Camera" Is this the right driver? And if not where can i find a webcam driver for the A4000. Or if you know what the webcam is called then I can find the driver for myself. If "USB 2.0 Camera" is the correct driver, than what could be the issue? I have the webcam turned on with the FN keys. It just doesn't connect to anything or preview any video. The LED light doesn't even turn on. If you have any input at all your help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks so much!!!

    USB camera sounds right... Is the hardware in device manager?

    Yes, it is in the device manager. It just doesn't work and I have no idea why. It was working all day and then I installed AIM and tried to video chat someone and it stopped working.
