Studio XPS 1340 Web Cam Software?

I had to to a complete fresh reinstall. The DVDs have no software for the webcam nor does the website. Just spent an hour with dell chat and remote checking and they cant figure it out. They are sending someone out to replace the webcam - I think they are wrong - its a Vista 64/creative/Dell softare/driver issue. I had to do a reinstall after a BSOD. The camera worked fine until the BSOD. Any body got a solution before they butcher my new laptop??

 

Do you have the driver at least? That can be found here: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=17&fileid=290359.
Try the software found on the Latitude E6400 site: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=25&fileid=286154. That's the one I use (for my E6400), which also appears to be Creative. With luck, that might work.

 

Yes, there are drivers for the webcam but no software. It should work fine with just the drivers though, in programs that use it like Messenger etc. Do a serach because there was another thread or two about it, with a link to where you could apparently get the software. But no-one with a 1340 got the software with their system.

 

i got the software ive posted a link in the previous thread that is about the SAME TOPIC

try that

 

could someone in the USofA upload (sendspace/megaupload) the webcam software for the SXPS 13. I went to

https://smartsource.dell.com/Web/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/web/main.aspx

hit register and got the following text

"Create an account to begin downloading software purchased with your system. Currently, only Studio XPS 13 and Studio XPS 16 purchased in the Americas are supported. "

As i am in the UK i cannot use it.

 

the file sizes are VERY large, i will upload them later

 

When I did a fresh install I looked through my Windows.old . The software they loaded was Dell Webcam Center 1.01.05 dated 2008.Dell loaded web cam Manager (not center) and a bunch of different drivers and it still did not work so they were going to send a tech to replace the webcam. Anyway could not get any combo of software and driver to work so I did a factory image recovery. It works fine now.
Application Dell Webcam Center 1.01.05 dated 2008
Driver Creative 1.5.2.1227 dated 12/27/08

 

rofl...... im sorry i know its not nice to laugh but rofl :\

did you bother downloading drivers from dell.com?

 

I downloaded every single driver from dell including those for StudioXPS/E6400/M1330/m1530 and every single app I could find form Dell/Creative/Web. Still would not work. I did the factory refresh as I knew it worked when I got it and I did not want a tech spending 2 hours taking my laptop apart just to tell me its not the webcam.

 

Thank you for that

Driver Creative 1.5.2.1227 > is on the Driver disk

Dell Webcam Center 1.01.05 > downloaded it from dell site

reformat again, install the dell driver from the driver cd that dell provided with the laptop OR from here http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=17&fileid=290359 (this one is from march 5th - and its for the 64bit ver of vista..), reboot, then install this file here; http://www.zshare.net/download/5708277427ff36df/

Works on XPS 1330

The facial software is quite slow isnt it? Sadly I could not get the Veriface software to work...

 

same here.. i cant really open that file.. it seems to be empty after i extract..

 

i have tried this on 2 computers. same issue can you upload that file again? or zip it again... plsssss..

 

tried it out on another computer and it works after that.

EDIT: tried to install it but has problem after that.

Someone who downloaded the webcam control center from rapidshare could upload it again somewhere cause the file on zSHARE is still corrupted and the 10 person limit on rapidshare has been reached! PLEASE PLEASE! At least jmoose maybe could re-upload it again?!?!?! Thanks a lot!

It takes a while to learn your face, but it actually gets quite speedy after a few days. It now usually logs me in before the glowing Vista orb screen disappears...

Of course, sometimes it doesn't work at all, but I think that it has something to do with when Vista loads the webcam drivers. When it works, it's nifty. Nothing more.

Also, if you set it to "continuous security", it learns quicker. Can be annoying, but it helps.

 

i uninstalled this crap.. but i think im going to reinstall it as the gf doesnt know how to keep off my laptop!

 

LOL...my favorite part...

doesn't work very well (or at all) after the sun goes down, and I ain't turnin on every light in the house...I'll just type my password...gonna go play Crysis now...

 

could someone upload the webcam software(app) for me!!
or could someone give me a account of smartsource.dell.com so that i can download it myself!I've bought my system outside of us and canada!
pls!
thank a lot!

thanks a lot guys
