The Dell Webcam Central software is not available for Windows 8/8.1/10. Dell Webcam Central is end of life and no longer supported by Dell. Use the Windows operating system native webcam applications such as Skype.

Thanks for your help.

I just installed this on a Dell Mini 910 with Windows 7 Retail Version, 32bit or 64bit. All work just fine. The Vista Hardware Drivers work just fine. In fact the Win7 install drivers are good too. So my guess is this is a Fix All Get it done way, for Dell PC's in general.

Your thoughts?

I downloaded Dell Webcam Central from the link, but instead of version 2.4 or 2.0.46 i'm stuck with version 1.40.37. Is there anyway to upgrade from this? When I clicked the check for software update button, Creative Software AutoUpdate tells me that the latest versions are already installed.

This link does not work.  All I wanted was this Webcam Central program, and I've got nothing but a colossal rigamarole from this website.  WHAT IS THE DEAL?  I registered, followed the directions, but nothing works.

I'd be really careful about installing this software if you already have a different version on your computer. This software is NOT compatible with other versions of software and it doesn't coexist with other versions of software. I ended up having to wipe my computer to clean up the mess.
