Lenovo 3000 N200 0769-K2G webcam problem

[khusro1]

Hi All,

I bought this machine a while back with Vista OS. Downgraded to XP and my problems began. Couldn't find webcam driver so went back to Vista Business and still cant seem to work out the issue. In device manager I've got Intel (R) ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller  2830, 2831, 2932, 2834, 2835, 2836 and 283A in addition to 7 USB Root Hub (if that info helps).

someone suggested using Yawcam, tried that but no luck. There is no webcam driver on lenovo website which is strange. Please help.

activated camera by pressing fn + esc?
also, check device manager for non-installed devices if there is any.

Thanks for your quick response mate!  I checked device manager but there isn't any device missing

I also tried to activate the camera by pressing fn+esc but it just turned off the volume of my laptop.

but thanks for your prompt reply!

cheers

there should be a key to activate the camera. ( fn + something )
check your manual or take a look at the f keys for camera icon.
