    hey guys im trying to use dell's webcam central on my studio and everytime i open it it says please plug in the webcam or something... but my webcam is integrated! what gives?

    i googled around dell's community forum and it seems to be a known issue, if u have webcam central open and u plug in a usb device, it will suddenly detect ur webcam and work..

    and another thing, when webcam central is open, a notification pops up on my tray and say please install the drivers for the webcam found in the cd or support.dell.com, but windows7 already installed drivers for it and says im already using the current one. installing a dell creative driver found on dell's site for another computer(cant find one for S1555) fails with no diagnostic, just says the installation failed, but tells me to restart anyway.

    anyway, just wondering if anyone else has this problem or knows a fix
