    Here's the deal. I have an XPS 1530 with the built in webcam & Dell Webcam Manager software. I almost ALWAYS have my laptop connected to my 46" LCD screen via HDMI, so the cam built into the lid is useless to me (cept when travelling).

    I bought an external cam (Logitech Communicate STX) and would like to use the existing Dell Webcam Manager software with it. Is there any way to select which cam to use with the software? It only seems to recognize the built in cam!

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
