Program installed properly and no camera is found. It worked three days ago.

Question

Reinstalled web camera and it still says that the camera is not found. This morning it was working and all of a sudden it died. Can you troubleshoot?

Answer 1

Start your computer and make sure you are connected to the Internet. Go to Control Panel > System or Control Panel > System & Security > System and access Device Manager. If everything is installed, you will see all the components listed. The webcam device should have a yellow sign. Right click it and update the drivers. Use the automatic finding technique and Windows will install the drivers if you have the software installed as well.
