I have not used it in quite a while. Now when I try and use it, the webcam does not show up in Device Manager. If I bring up Windows Live Messenger > Tools > Audio Video setup, it states that no webcam is installed.

I have tried reinstalling the latest webcam driver, resetting bios to the default values, using System Restore to restore the original driver, and I have reinstalled the latest bios. None of these actions had any affect.

Is there anything that would cause it to be disabled? Why doesn't my laptop find the webcam/webcam driver?

... I'm sure you're a bot.

In case you aren't:
If it's like my laptop, system items (such as the pad scroll bar and the volume slider above the keyboard) dysfunction all the time. Windows 7 fixes them. Get Windows 7.
