No Zoom facility on Creative Webcan Live?

Some webcams and programs require additional software, although that should be installed with the webcam if things are right. But is does not harm to check if your Java, Flash and Quicktime software are installed and up to date. But certainly check your DirectX software, since all video applications, including webcams, use DirectX for video processing. Try downloading the latest DirectX version and install it (Windows XP: DirectX 9.0c - Windows Vista: DirectX 10). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Which-version-of-DirectX-is-on-your-computer The Dell Inspiron line of laptop computers allows consumers to customize their system in a number of ways, from hardware specifications to color. The laptop also comes with an integrated webcam that can be used as a camera and for video Web chats. You can use the camera from the Dell Webcam Manager application, which controls all the functions of the camera.

Click the "Start" button on your computer, highlight "All Programs," and select "Dell Webcam Manager" from the list of available applications. Click on the "Webcam Center" icon. From the tab at the top of screen, select the action you want the camera to perform. You can use the camera to record videos, snap photos, detect motion, monitor remotely, and take time-lapse video. Press the "Record" button to start recording video or take a snapshot.

use your "Utilities and Drivers" DVD that came with computer and reinstall the driver for the integrated webcam. After inserting the DVD, select "Drivers" from the menu and then select the "Input Drivers: Creative Labs....Camera". select this, & a window popped up that says "the necessary drivers are already installed, do I want to reinstall anyway?" and I said "Yes". After reinstallation, my camera started working and I have not been updating drivers.
Before doing this, you may want to go to your "Device Manager" and make sure your camera is "enabled". In my attempts to get my camera working, I saw my camera was disabled, but I don't know why that happened either. Enabling it did not get it working though. Also, before reinstallation of the Input Driver, in Device Manager-Imaging Devices, the camera was showing as "Creative Live! Camera". After reinstalling the driver, under imaging devices "Creative Live! Camera" is there as well as "Integrated Webcam". I thought they were one-in-the-same, but they are showing as two devices.

try H264_WebCam_Pro_v2.4

uninstall your webcam manager and replace it with this: http://www.laptops-drivers.com/dell-laptop/inspiron-1525-creative-labs-dell-webcam-manager.html

and this is an updated driver to replace your R16837 :http://www.bootwin.com/dell-drivers/inspiron-1520-creative-labs-webcam-driver-for-xpvista.html hope this helps

I have a Dell 1545 with Dell web cam central & I've had this issue. The problem is that Dell web cam central installs it's own microphone settings onto your laptop called something like Dell web cam Live!. This isn't the built in microphone in my laptop & maybe not yours either. You have to change the settings for your computer system & Dell web cam central. Go to start> control panel> sound> recording .. on mine there is an option for Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" ... that is the built in mic. You want that for your default & apply it. Also .. as a side note .. I disabled the web cam central Live! microphone completely from this window. Then open Dell web cam central & go to the "Record Video's" option. In the middle of this is an orange button with a video camera icon. Next to this on the same button is a little arrow pointing down .. click that. Under microphone .. choose Microphone "High Definition Audio Device" just like the sound option in control panel. I've done this & it's completely fixed. I can record videos with sound & use my built in mic in voice/video chat.
