Hi all...am new here and have learned a lot. Thank you for this forum. I was wondering about the cam in the 1420. Has anyone tried, with any luck, to install a webcam driver/application from Creatives website rather than the Dell driver? Would that be too risky? Have been tempted to do it to enable some grayed out features in advanced settings like exposure, aperture/iris, low light compensation, & gain. These are advanced camera settings in Live Messenger. Also my audio FX do not work....just video FX. Anyone elses audio FX work? Thanks.
