ok so I'm going to be looking at my
webcam driver a good way that make sure
everything is working properly so just
check out you're whatever program you
use for video conferencing video chat
I you skype so I'm going to check out my
skype here and i'm going to go to
options and do a check the video
settings here so right off the bat here
it says skype could find a webcam and I
have my plugged in so i can tell him
having some problems so what I'm going
to do next is check out my clothes on
skype here
check out my drivers settings here with
the control panel then we want to go to
hardware and sound and then you want to
go to device manager see if anything
looks suspicious
alright so when we open up device
manager it will automatically
collapse or actually open up the devices
that are not working properly here I see
some things here with a little yellow
commission . one
it also put up is my logitech quickcam
webcam here so from here I know the name
of the webcam which is good so I have a
place to start as far as finding the
right drivers to reinstall my webcam
which is probably the best idea for for
any hardware that's having some problems
so i'm going to go onto the internet and
try to go to logitech's website they're
the ones who make my webcam
let's just do a quick search logitech
and all right first things go electric
com
alright and support product support
ok so product type webcam and I believe
see it was a quick am communicate STX
and here's a picture that does look like
mine so we're going to try to do you
check the download to your seat
I can find the drivers i'm using windows
seven so I'm gonna pick 32-bit all right
that's my operating system so here I'm
going to download the drivers and here
we teach downloading here also want to
do is install all the drivers are over
the dog ever come in so fast forward
through all this
once it's done installing it'll when you
whenever you install drivers that always
asks you to restart
so install the drivers once it's done
have a couple minutes here
installation will take a little while
once that's done i'm going to restart
I'm going too fast for all this for you
guys and we'll see what happens when i
restart
ok so i restarted the computer now
installed the logitech webcam drivers
so what to do the only thing I really
need to do right now to make sure
everything's working and open up skype
one more time just like I did the first
time and go back to my options here and
see if it works so seizing news video
settings and here it is a webcam on a
sec and there I am
hello so it looks like that worked went
to the manufacturer's website found the
drivers

check out driver download . org the
service basically manages
and automatically update your drivers
for you so you can save a lot of time
