Everytime I try to use my Cyberlink youcam it says "no webcam detected.try plugging in a webcam into your computer now. if you are using an integrated camera, make sure that it is turned on" I have an integrated camera. how do i fix this? I've tried everything!

you either have it disabled in the control panel or the driver files are corrupted. You might have loaded some software which accesses the camera and uninstalled it or its installation failed, taking down the driver wth it. find camera driver and load it. look for it in control panel or device control.

Hi,

Welcome to FixYa!

What type of computer do you have? A Desktop or a Laptop?

If you have a Laptop, please make sure that the webcam is enabled. Some Laptop have a feature to enable/disable the webcam (example: Lenovo [Press Fn+Esc to enable/disable the webcam]).

Try to reinstall the webcam driver using the drivers disc. If you don't have the drivers disc, you can download it from the computer / webcam manufacturer's web site (example: support.dell.com).

Try also to reinstall the cyberlink youcam software using the drivers disc or you can download it from the computer or webcam manufaturer 's website.

Hope that helps. Thank you for using FixYa.

Your computer may include an integrated webcam, located at the top of the display. The webcam is an input device that allows you to capture and share video. Preinstalled CyberLink YouCam software provides new features that expand the webcam experience.

To use the webcam and CyberLink YouCam software, select Start > All Programs > CyberLink YouCam > CyberLink YouCam.
NOTE: The first time you access the YouCam software, you may experience a brief delay as the software loads.

Using YouCam as your default webcam software enables you to experiment with the following features:
? Video-Record and play back webcam video. You can also e-mail or upload video to YouTube, using the icon on the software interface. ? Streaming video-When you open your instant message program, YouCam displays a floating toolbar that lets you add graphic effects. ? Special effects-Add frames, filters, and emoticons to your snapshots and video. ? Snapshots-Take single frame or "burst" webcam shots in rapid succession. ? Connect-E-mail photos and video using the icon on the software interface. NOTE: For details about using webcam software, refer to the software manufacturer's instructions, which may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer's Web site.

• Click "Start" on your computer screen and click "Run."
• 
  
• Type "appwiz.cpl" and hit "Enter." This will bring you to the programs window that displays all programs and applications installed on your computer.
• 
  
• Click "Cyberlink YouCam" and click "Remove/Uninstall." Click "Yes" to confirm.
• 
  
• Click "Remove." The files will be removed from your computer and the program uninstalled.

OR
Try reinstalling it from http://download.cnet.com/CyberLink-YouCam/3000-2348_4-10764658.html

just wondering if you fixed it, I have the same problem

dsavageprosp- Do you have any controlling software installed? I know on integrated HP WebCams they usually use Cyberlink YouCam for web-cam software (which SHOULD be pre-installed with an integrated camera), under Start>Programs>CyberLink YouCam>CyberLink YouCam. If it's not installed, you can download it at the link below, install and it should recognize your cam and you should be good to go: http://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/trials/youcam/download_en_US.html Hopefully I understood your question and answered sufficiently. If not, let me know & I will try again if you can give me a few more details. Cheers! -WhiteHatH4x0r

yo well try making sure that the cam is not being used

Do you have the USB cable connection from the monitor hooked up to your computer? If so, are your USB ports configured properly?
Your computer should alert you with an audible tone indication whenever you connect or disconnect the webcam USB cable. If it is not doing this, The webcam itself may be defective.

I have the same problem...If you have any ideas pls contact me:

I have just bought the same Laptop, when windows Vista is started the webcam doesn't work. By pressing the keys FN + F9 the webcam will be activated (you have to do this every time you start your laptop)
