I had a seemingly easy task turn into a whole big thing this first day of 2014. I recorded myself on my Webcam (Inspiron/W7). You could barely hear the audio even though the volume was turned up. I began following a troubleshooting tip from Dell (My warranty expired in October) to uninstall and reinstall the webcam driver. I kept getting an error code, perhaps for being out of warranty, so I turned to CNET for a couple of downloads I thought might work. I ended up with a virus that I managed to contain by restoring to yesterday. My Webcam does not even open.
I either need to find out how to get a driver for free, or little money, for the Webcam without having to redo the operating system. Any suggestions?
