how to switch on the web cam in dell inspiron R5520

Hi rajareddy2,

Please share the operating system installed. Also, check if the web cam is getting detected in Device Manager also if there is any yellow bang appearing against it. Here are the steps:

• Press the key combination Windows Logo key + R key to open Run dialog box.
• Type in devmgmt.msc and click OK.
• The Device Manager windows will appear.
• Click on the sign next to Imaging Devices and expand it. Check if web cam is listed there.

Also, you may try installing the Dell Webcam Central Application from the link http://dell.to/14USs6C. Also you may refer to link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104 for more detailed information on Error Code 10. Hope this helps.
