This might help. Try downloading the first driver on that page.
Also try Windows update.

Yes i want you click on the first link there; the blue one.
I made it a bit easier just click here, save the file, and install it.

Hope this solves the problem

I`ve don that, and still nothing, I have alredy istalled the chipset driver when i rebooted my notebook but i think it does not contain drivers or softwere or something for the web cam, whenever i try to use it it asys that it is not conected, how can i conect something that is built in.
do you have any other suggestions?
thank you verry verry much

This is what it says

Here what to do if you are one of the many who are having this problem
Go to
Control Panel >> System Maintenance >> Device Manager

Go to Imaging Devices and right-click “USB 2.0 Camera" and
choose “Update Driver Software”

Problem is i don`t have usb 2.0 camera in imaging devices i just have Xerox WorkCentre Pro Scanner :frowning:
what do i do now?
Thank you very very much

have a try to download some universal webcam drivers.use google search

I`m so sorry but i checked on google and there is no such thing as a universal web cam driver, according to a site i found it is impossible to have such a drive tacking in consideration the fact that each one works differently and each one has different mpx
btw 10x for the idea it was worth a try:)
