I have a dell computer that runs windows xp 2002 on windows 7 and my web cam won't even load the cd for web cam.

Before you use the Recovery CD you need to backup your data because to restoring your laptop will wipe your data off the hard disk.
To backup your data when you cannot boot up your laptop, remove the hard drive and connect it to an USB hard drive adapter. Connect this hard drive/USB adapter into the USB port of a working computer. The computer will see it as an external storage device, you can then open the folders and backup your data.
You can then fit the hard drive back into the Dell laptop and boot up with the Dell recovery CD to reinstall Windows etc.

The video and audio needs drivers - if you have drivers - simply insert the media - [ CD with the stuff on it] into the CD or DVD tray and it will play.
You may have to download the drivers from Dell's main web pages - go to www.dell.com and read - you will see what to do there.

Você vai precisar instalar drivers para sua web cam que suporta XP 2002.

Você terá que instalá-lo a partir do CD que veio com o computador.

Ou você vai ter que procurar os drivers na internet.

Are you getting an error message saying "CD drive cannot be found"? If so, check the cable connected to your pc or swap that drive with a working cd drive.

Afterward, you have to enter the BIOS and change the BOOT order. Make the CD drive the first boot device and the HDD your second boot device. If the CD is a valid BOOTABLE Windows OS CD you will see the following option directly after the bios loads: "Press any key to boot from cd...."

Please remember that the OS CD only has the Windows Operating Software and will not provide you with the necessary drivers to run all the hardware on your PC. If it is not the original OS cd that came with your system don't even bother as you will have activate windows within 30 days and may not even allow you to enter the OS once installed until windows is activated.

The green or purple Dell CD's will boot on that system with no problem and it will not even ask you for the keys as it is a Dell OEM Windows OS CD. If you try an official Windows XP OS CD you must have the keys for it.

Is the Web cam driver properly installed?

If no, go to windows start button, point to computer, right click computer, clice manage, click device manager.

If you see an exclamation point or X mark sign you need to re-install the driver for your webcam. If you have a cd-installer, just put the cd on the dvd rom drive then run it. If you dont have an installer cd you can download the driver from the Dell site.

any web cam, as long it has the windows logo on it. install the software that come with webcam. you should be good to go in about 10 minutes
