Hi,
I have the exact same problem, I've aquired a Dell Inspiron 1564 (the core i5 / ATI 5450 version) with FreeDOS and I've got the same problem: I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate and it sees the webcam as "integrated webcam", but no software I've tried sees it except a small free application which can only initialize the webcam in 1280x1024 resolution at 9 FPS but all the colors are screwed up (lots of yellow and blue, psychedelic, what can I say...)
Also, the "Cheese" software running on Debian or Debian-based distros (such as Ubuntu) can initialize my webcam but only in 1280x1024 with same color screw-ups.
Could be a driver issue, as both the windows 7 free application and the "Cheese" on linux probably use generic API's to access the webcam.
I'd love to solve the problem, at least on Windows 7, but there is NO driver on the Dell support website, not even if I introduce my service tag (and I've spent considerable time looking for it, both with the website integrated search engine, and with google's).
Can anyone help me?

Jevgenija,
There are some drivers that people have been using, so here are the new instructions.
Installing Dell Webcam Central
If the drivers do NOT work in the above link, then try the drivers from...
Dell Webcam Central v2.00.39

Jawid786,
You said...
Same problem as who(m)?
What exactly is your problem with the webcam?
Make and model of your computer and operating system? 32-bit or 64-bit?
Did you make and recent changes, like upgrade or reinstall the operating system?

Hi mohammad999,
Please share the system model and operating system installed on your system. If the webcam is not working on your system, try the below steps:
Uninstall 'USB Root Hubs' from 'Device Manager':
Also expand 'Imaging Devices' in 'Device Manager' to check if webcam is getting detected. You may also try using web cam using any third party application like skype etc and see if it works.
In case the webcam is getting detected in Device Manager and is working with other video streaming applications, I will recommend you to uninstall and re install webcam application.
