Dell Webcam central

I just got an SP2309W flat panel.  When I open the webcam Central, it says "please plug in supported webcam"    What's wrong?  I can use it on Skype and other video confrencing sites but the webcam central on my computer doesn't work.  I've removed it from the computer.... and re-installed it to no avail.  Samething... NOTHING!

    What operating system?

    * Click Start -Control Panel -Hardware and Sound
    * Under Imaging Devices, double click USB Webcam. Does it have a yellow bang next to it?
    * Click the Driver tab at the top
    * Click Roll Back Driver

    Operating system is: Windows XP Pro with the service pack 3. Also, my Dell Webcam is in my: Control Panel, Scanners and Cameras.  I can't pull up driver info from there.

    Chris,

      For the device manager.  I went to: Control Panel, "System" Icon which opened System Properties, clicked on Hardware... Device Driver tab...  Under "Monitors" it says "plug and play monitor".  Under the " Imaging Devices" it shows...  my printer and "Monitor Webcam".    When i hit properties on Webcam it shows:  Manufacturer: Creative Technology Ltd.  Location:  0  Device type:  Imaging Devices

    I didn't see "Dell WebCam" listed anywhere, just the above mentioned "Monitor webcam".

    Ours is made by Creative so it is there. I do not know why it does not specify Dell.

    When I open the Webcam Central, I get a black screen and when I click on settings, it tells me to make sure my video is streaming and it is in a supported video format.  In perinthesis it says " unsupported format include MJPEG"  I'm confussed. :emotion-42:
