Samsung R710 Webcam Not Recognised
Hi all,
I'm currently installing an upgrade version of Windows 7 32bit on a Samsung R710. Everything has gone perfectly smoothly other than the webcam. Windows just is not detecting it and I've exhausted everything I can think to try.
I have installed and reinstalled the drivers and the "Play Webcam" software as well as all other drivers and software from the Samsung Website. The Play Webcam software is giving an error message along the lines of "Hardware not present". It is not visible in any messaging software (Skype, MSN, etc).
I've scanned various forums and can't see a pattern of people having the same issue. It was working before the upgrade, but I wiped Vista and reinstalled it and then installed 7 over a clean install of the Samsung Vista OEM from the recovery disk.
Any suggestions, no matter how much of a long shot, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
