Win7 update
It's finally sorted out -- I have the webcam back on my computer! Tried for the longest time to avoid calling Dell and tried the user forums instead. Downloaded some file that they recommended but when that didn't help, today I finally mustered up all my patience and called them.
It actually worked unexpected smooth. The guy...whom I was able to understand ... did the thing, where they take over the computer. If I had used my brain a little bit more I could have figured this out myself. Grrr... The CD with the installation files for the web cam DID come with the computer along with all the other discs. That was all!
