My webcam device is not working.why i do not know.i just found out now. i could not connect it in yahoo messenger,Skype no where. what should i do now
I had the same problem, work around is easy - Power managment option enable powering all USB port at all times. That should bring your webcam back to life again. You thank you me later. ;-)
As i mentioned this is just workaround, I solved this problem installing drivers in correct order, so Dell Vostro USA chipset all 5 then i have instaled program called slim drivers and fund good drivers for USB Ports (most recent) then i aplied all crap from windows update.
The driver itself for webcam has nothing to with the problem i believe (its all driver from 2006) the problem is more about system percepction of webcam as exyternal device hooked up to usb port thats why power management interfere with it.
And last thing if you mess up already with original driver and cannot install it then remove not working driver using device manager. Deatach laptop from power supply remove battery, and try switch it on; hold the button for 30 second up to 1 minute. then plug everything or just power cord switch on windows automatically detect device and will instal the driver from 2006.

The Dell QuickSet utility Wireless options can cause these issues.
There is a setting to always deactivate on battery. Make sure this is not set up. The correct setting would be Always active on battery or Always On, or no power saving options for Wi-Fi. Depending on the version of QuickSet which you have.
It is known to glitch when power is removed from the machine while the wireless is in use.
Please let us know if you have any futher questions. If this information was helpful, please take a moment to rate the solution. Thank you.

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.
