Before installing your software you should uninstall your old webcam driver and let the computer download the driver for you.
To do this go to the start menu on your computer and right click on computer and select properties. once the properties screen pops up click on device manager on the left. Find your webcam driver, right click it and select uninstall. after you have uninstalled it at the top of that screen you will see action, click that followed by scan for hardware changes...follow the prompts, install your new software, restart your computer and you should be good to go. If you have any problems or questions leave a comment on this thread and i will help you out.

• Then check it working or not..
• If it not means go to www.msi.com
• And enter your model name
• Enter what you want the cam driver...
• then install it and resart your system immediately
• Then it worked clearly try it..

Hi,

You are sure you have a webcam, right? In the manual, it shows the webcam as optional. Is a webcam listed on the box, the white label with the serial #, that the netbook came in?

If you do have one, you have to turn it on first. The manual, pg 2-9, tells you how to turn it on. Press the Fn+F6 keys at the same time(or while holding down the Fn key, press the F6 key) to turn the webcam on and off.

Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.

Try the MSI support website, should be there.

If that does not work, try using a driver finder program. It will also look for compatible drivers if the exact driver is not available.
