    my webcam was working just fine, but after my pc crashed some drivers disappeared. I managed to find most of them on my Hard Disk, but I could not find webcam driver. so I searched for drivers on the internet and tried to install everything I could find. none of them worked. I'm using windows xp pro and it tells me to plug in the device, well its built in so its already plugged in, still it can't detect it.
    I looked in device manager and there is no Camera device.. I tried to add hardware and use default driver windows xp has. well it didn't work.
    unfortunately I can't find installation cd either. so I'm stuck...

    The Samsung download site lists drivers for two different R510 cameras: Namuga and vmicro. Unless you can figure out which you have in your computer, I suggest that you try each driver in turn.
