    Hi..new kid here. I have had my M11 for about 2 weeks. I had to reinstall Win 7 and all the drivers and software. But I found nothing on the webcam drivers. Alienware tech support couldn't help with the driver. So my facial recognition doesn't work. I believe when I first fired up the pc, I saw a Creative Live program.
    Anyone know where I can get the drivers and software for my webcam??? HELP :eek:

    i'm curious about this too actually. i disabled facial recognition yet the webcam works fine with, say, silverlight. that said, is there some official software that allows you to capture and save images with it, or is that through what i disabled?

    may i recommend using internet explorer, the system registering process didn't work for me in chrome... and the webcam software's at the top of the list.
