    Hello,
    Recently my webcam's picture is all blurry when I startup my M17X and the facial rec. no longer works. And no i did not change any settings or anything different since before this. What could the reason for this be??
    Thanks for any help!

    Try checking the box in the corner on facial recognition log on. There are two boxes one will make all images blurry.
