I had the Dell webcam 2.0 resource CD shipped with my Dell Latitude E6540 but it downloaded the update for Dell Webcam Central 2.01.18 that I posted on dropbox. This is the official installer downloaded directly from Creative.

Dell Webcam Central (Business) 1.40.58

Thank You For Posting a Link to the Newest Version of Dell Webcam Central v2.01.18 (Customer)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19832211/DWSS_V_2_0_PCAPP_WEBUP_6.exe

This Version Includes the webcam effects.. One note if using Windows 8.1 the camera app may not work on older dell pc's because Win8.1 wants to install driver version 1.14

So in order to get the camera app to work - I had to roll back the driver version to 6.3.9600

And then had to block windows from trying to update the driver automatically (control panel - system - advanced system settings - hardware tab - device installation settings) select NO and Never

thank you for the link. Was searching for that!

It's sad that Dell didn't put the link on the website. It's hard to find!

I can't quite understand why Dell has chosen to make it overly difficult to get their integrated webcams working properly.

I did a clean Windows 7 install (on SSD) on a Inspiron One 2330 (All-in-one), and it was extremely difficult to find the sequence of events to get the integrated webcam working properly.

I seriously thought, when Michael returned, he was going to rid the company of it's incompetent leadership.  To make the support of such a small part of the system so difficult is senseless.

However, I still like Dell products and will continue to recommend and purchase them.

If there is anyone @DellCares monitoring, please recommend simple management of the integrated webcams.  ie make all the software easily available.

I don't know about Michael, but I know Eric Dell. And it Doesn't matter. If you need help I can get to the right software and Drivers. Just find me. rorputna,,,, just find me at Ebay.

Here it is man http://ftp.us.dell.com/monitors/Dell_SX2210-Monitor_Webcam%20SW%20RC1.1_%20R230103.exe its to easey.

They want you to pay them to do it for you. That's the goal. Don't do it. It isn't  your fault their website is not user friendly.
