So, my webcamera for some reason is completely deleted off my computer. I can't find the program for it anywhere and it won't open up no matter what I do. I tried to acquire a photo through PSP and that doesnt' work. Usually I open up My Computers and it's right there but it's not anymore. I used the search feature on the computer and searched for it twice and it can't find it. I tried downloading a driver for it at the Intel website and it still doesnt' work and it can't find the camera. It is plugged in correctly by USB and I've tried several times to unplug it and replug it again in several different USB ports. Nothing works.

What do I do?! This is completely frustrating and pissing me off.

Is there any way you can download and do a full reinstall of the entire software, not just the driver? What webcam is it?

PS When you plug it into one of the USB ports, do you get any notification at all, like does your computer even acknowledge the fact that you're plugging something in?

It's an Intel wecamera, model CS430.

When I replug it in, it doesn't acknowledge it. However, it does acknowledge when I plug in other things to the USB ports like my digital camera.

You may have run across this already, but I'll post the link anyway..

Also, here's the link for the entire software pack (as far as I know). This should work exactly as your installation CD would. Try downloading this, uninstalling everything, then running the file to reinstall everything.

.:edit:. Sorry if this is all stuff you've tried before, I realized that the last link is also a link to a driver, but the actual driver, not just the update.

.:edit again:. Apparently you're not the only one:

Google Cache

Thanks but yeah I downloaded from that second link already. The problem with that is that I don't have the 6th step from Scenario 2.

I don't have the Other Devices category. In fact, one I click on Device Manager and the window pops up, nothing is there, at all.
