Packard Bell EasyNote laptop

i have just bought a Packard Bell EasyNote laptop and trying to enable the webcam. There is no software for me to load up or even access it from the control panel. Nothing in the instructions - please help???

I have seen this problem on some laptops. Try loading a video-enabled program like Skype and then under options look at the video settings test.

Hi

If you never used the Skype you can use messenger(MSN).Under tool menu you will see webcam setting there you can setup the webcam and test it as well.

Thanks

RE: Packard Bell EasyNote laptop

its a webcam - so its meant to work with web software like Windows/MSN Messenger, one of which will be on the machine. Its unlikely to have its own software
