    Reinstalled XP, got everything up to speed minus the camera button.
    Used to launch logitech quick cam, now nothing at all.
    Any suggestions?

    I asked this same question a few days ago with no reply. My friend with a 1210 is in the same boat. Seems like it's easier to repair the media direct button than the camera button. (Yes. All of the drivers have been installed.)

    Umm... drivers n all? how about the ALL part... did you install the Dell QuickSet drivers? I reinstalled my xp 1210 to get rid of the bloat ware... and my cam button worky's :D Make sure you have the quickset drivers installed.

    Nope. I've googled it, check Dell forums, etc. But haven't found the solution. Maybe there should be a warning in SG's reformat guide about this.

    nevermind... I installed the latest logitech software (137mb) off of dell's support site and it worked.
