If it is an older webcam, the most likely Microsoft decided that you have used your webcam long enough and it's time for you to buy another.
They do this by not taking the time to write drivers for older hardware.
I wouldn't be surprised if they get a kick-back from the peripheral manufacturers by forcing people to buy new equipment.
What is the make and model number of the webcam?

Need Webcam Drivers

Was the computer connected to the Internet with a LAN cable when you installed Windows 7. During the Windows 7 installation Windows will automatically find and download the drivers.
The HP/Compaq WEB site may have a WEBcam driver for your model laptop.
If all else fails then try installing Windows 7 again and make sure the laptop is connected to the Internet before you start the installation.

Need drivers webcam for windows 7

Currently there aren't any drivers for your computer with Windows 7. Dell only offers drivers for your computer with Windows XP or Windows Vista. I would try using the Creative Labs Webcam Driver they have for Vista. Since many things about Vista & 7 are similar, often the drivers for Vista will work with Windows 7. Go to dell.com, enter the model of your computer, choose Vista as your operating system, then go to Input Devices, choose the Creative Webcam and download the driver to your desktop (I suggest against using Dell's Download Manager, just download via your browser like you usually would). Then install the driver. With any luck your will be up and running with your webcam.

After installing windows 7 webcam is not functining

Your lenevo IdeaPad S10 doesn't support windows 7 nor Windows Vista, so no drivers is available for your webcam.You might be able to install Windows 7 but only Windows XP drivers are available from IBM site.

If your system has atleast support Windows Vista and the drivers for windows vista might work with windows 7 as 90% of the drivers meant for Windows Vista works fine with windows 7,

Check out the chipset of your webcam and go to the manufacturer site and check if any updates are available from their side.

Good Luck..

Happy New Year.
