    I have a Dell Studio 1747 laptop with Windows 7.
    I had to delete all my partitions and re-install Windows due to a virus, now I am trying to re-install Dell Webcam Central and it won't let me. I updated 2 drivers that were available on dell.com and tried using different links to install it.
    Everytime I try to download it I get the same message:
    Setup could not detect any Dell Webcam Central on your system.
    Please ensure that your Dell Webcam Central is properly installed before running this setup program.
    I know it is not installed because that is what I am trying to do, what am I doing wrong?
    Dell also gave me a link to use and I tried it and it still didn't work ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/Browse_For_Dr...l_SX2210-Monitor_Webcam SW RC1.1_ R230103.exe

    If you could give us service tag # then we can try to help narrow down the searches.

    What files did you install from Dell?

    Have you installed your Chipset Drivers first? Followed by your video, audio and NIC drivers.

    I can't find my service tag and Dell can't detect it for some reason.
    I just went to dell.com and installed 2 files they had under drivers.
    No, I did not install those and I don't know how. I'm not good with computers :(

    Ok so I installed all the drivers and then I got to the last part and tried to download the Factory Installed Software from my dell downloads and it had to scan my computer ( it said it takes about 5 mins) however mine lasted for over 6 hours and nothing happened so I just stopped it. Is there anything else I can do?

    Thanks for letting us know. Sometime on our various computers something doesn't work the first time. I'm stubborn and will try 2 or 3 times before I'm ready to try something else.
