Problem with my webcam on my Dell inspiron 1525 laptop

Hello. I have aproblem with my webcam on my Dell inspiron 1525 laptop . I try to use it and it will say "livecam.exe has stopped working" and it closes. It says windows will check for a solution but it doesnt find one. It is a brand new computer. I dont know what to do for it and NOTHING online has helped. I have reinstalled the webcam from the disc that came with the computer, I have rolled back and updated the drivers, and I have disabled and re-enabled the device. What do I do??

Livecam not working on webcam

Hi There,
This is a fairly common issue with lifecam/livecam and dell machines. A workaround has been presented here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/lifecamexe-has-stopped-working/f1f43ce5-25e9-47b7-9277-ec4499854c63
However a simpler workaround would be to upgrade to better webcam software, not just the default that came with the computer.

My dell inspiron 1525 webcam wont work with yahoo messenger

This is happening because the Dell webcam central is accessing the webcam at the same time as yahoo messenger. Click on start and click on Run(XP), Type MSCONFIG in start search (Vista) and you'll get the system configuration utility. Open it and go to the startup tab. Uncheck anything related to Dell webcam. Click on Apply and OK and restart the computer. If yahoo messenger shows a black screen uninstall Yahoo messenger and reinstall with the more recent version.
