hi harley, I think upgrading your OS to vista or win 7 doesn't help you find out where your web cam was located. I think you need to install the driver that the laptop must have. The driver I am referring to is the driver of the whole hardware of your laptop(display driver, sound and including your web cam). If you can't find it, you may wish to ask from the store where you bought your laptop. Hope this help harley.
