    I am using Windows XP.

    Laptop model: Dell Inspiron 1525.



    Issue: Webcam driver from the installation CD throwed Error.



    I downloaded it from Internet which again throws the same error.

  • skstar Jun 30, 2009

    The Webcam is integrated into my laptop.
    Its not externally connected.

    The issue is not with the Device, it is with the driver. May be some permission issues for the user.

    I couldn't figure out the issue still.
    Please let me how i can resolve this.

    Your going to have to take off the keyboard to do this but check to make sure that the wire for the webcam is connected to the motheboard.

I have issues with updates from Microsoft, Creative, and Dell all these seemed to affect the Webcam on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. Error reads "plug in supported webam". I have been through Dell Customer Support, and uninstalled and reinstalled program. Issue was resolved untill I rebooted. The same error message. Finally I went to Video Chat and noticed that is working in this mode. Shutdown PC and the sane error reappears. Again I opened the Vidoe Chat and made minor adjustments to settings only to proceed via Video Chat. I never signed up for account, but opened Webcam Central and WHAALAHH, it works fine now. However, when it is working, I usually exit Laptop by using "hibernate" in order to keep it working. If your camera works in Video Chat you should be able to fix, I hope.

nimsood_rak,

You will need to reinstall all the drivers into the system. Below is a link to the drivers download page for your system. I have also added a link to help you get connected to your internet.

USB devise not recognized pop up on Inspiron 1525 laptop. I formated the hard drive and reinstalled vista and still pops up. Any help is appreciated.

What device is it? normally it refers to a USB device or sometimes the webcam. go to the device website and download the drivers.
if it is the inbuilt webcam or another internal device the dell website will have all the drivers for your laptop.

How to turn on webcam in my dell inspiron 1525. but i have default cam driver installed in os. tell me the solution.

Is the webcam being recognized in Control Panel/Device Manager - under 'Imaging Devices'?
Have you tried reinstalling the webcam drivers/software you might have received with the laptop?
You can download the latest versions from the Inspiron 1525 from this link Drivers and Downloads

The Dell 'Webcam Manager' software is listed under 'Applications', and the drivers are listed under 'Input Device Drivers' (integrated webcam).
Select the appropriate OS version (i.e. Vista 32bit), download and install those two (drivers first)

Note: When you click the respective download links, don't use the Dell Download Manager!! It's known to cause various problems. Use the 'download in internet browser' option instead.

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.
