looks like support is until 2021... good news for you.
what I'd do is back all those drivers up so you dont need to find them when they get corrupted.

did you install W10 in this box.
yes, bingo 2.... lots of things dead. oops.

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.

thats a driver problem. ou need to reinstall the driver of the webcam built in your pc as well as the tools accompanied in it.

It should already be detected by your OS.The digital livecam on the R580 is interal and built into the case above the lcd display.It's not a device you need to add via a USB cable On this model Samsung provide Cyberlink You Cam preloaded on the machine. Starting the app detects your integral camera (and allows many extra effects to be added) Youcam provides Youtube support and recording functions with filters and effects,also capturing audio via the interal mic positioned bottom left of keyboard.

If you simply start camera functions (without youcam) on yahoo messenger or windows messenger you should find its already detected by those programs and installed as a webcam in windows 7 anyway,so a very minimal setup process.

restart your computer first if that dont work reinstall the software for it or go into your settings and check to see what all it says

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.

For some reason , My Youcam wont start , it says that it cant read the resolution of my computer. i dont noe how to fix it. Please help me.

Hi v_tahseen,

There is a couple reasons this could happen.
1. You might have another program that's using the camera and it is conflicting.
2. The software is not turning on the camera in which point try to turn it on manually.
Just for the heck of it try to use the camera without the youcam software if it still don't work.
Then uninstall youcam and see if it works.
Sometimes software is not compatible with all computers and it does some funky things.
