Alienware M9700 webcam not working, Fn+F4 activation?
I recently acquired an Alienware M9700 and upgraded it to Win 7 Pro from XP. I'm still getting used to this laptop (and I use that term lightly....it must weigh 40lbs!...LOL). I have not yet figured out how to get the webcam to work. I know pressing FN+F4 is involved, however i tried to use the camera on Skype and Skype doesn't recognize the webcam.
The laptop's manual gives this note, how do I activate its function through Windows?
Press this key combination (Fn+F4) to power on and power off the optional Web Cam module. After powering on the Web Cam, you need to activate its function through Windows™.
Thank you!
P.S. I also posted in the Dell Alienware forum, no replies there yet
