    The proper driver will have to quite repair the predicament. But there might be a crisis with a USB device as well, inflicting a conflict or whatever (most webcams, even inner ones are connected to the USB). Be certain you unplug any external USB gadgets and take a look at reinstalling the webcam driver. If there's any gadget listed within the device supervisor underneath "other devices", are attempting uninstalling that, because the webcam would no longer have been famous thoroughly. Finally that you could try to in finding an up to date driver for the webcam.

    Hi,

    Try re-installing the web cam drivers, if you don't have them go to the Dell support site and look for the drivers on there.

    Make sure you download the drivers for your model and operating system.
