My Eee PC webcam isn't being recognized at all.

I've read all the solutions and tried them, even the F2 button and the advanced options. All of my components are enabled, but when I tried using my webcam again, it still isn't working. So I checked to make sure it didn't somehow get deleted off of my netbook, and it wasn't.

None of the websites are working and it won't open on my computer. Help!

Hello, does your camera show in device manager?  If it doesn't show in the main device manager menu, have you check under usb devices?  By the way, what is the operating system in the netbook?-- open device manager-- expand the universal serial bus controllers-- is there an entry for your camera there?  Does it show any warning?-- if there is an entry there, right click on it and select update driver.What other options have you tried?  I would help us give you other possible solutions if any, if we know what you have tried.

check BIOS. Make sure there's no option that it's disabled there (Disabled in BIOS would prevent h/w detection)If you are on windows 7 try to run under compatibility windows vista or xp?
