littleone562 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Does anyone know where to get the webcam driver for the m18x, as i reformatted on my ssd and cant find it on the install disk nor do I know the brand name of the webcam. BTW the black m18x looks amazing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Welcome to Tech Inferno littlone, nice to see you received your M18x. Bryan received his today, he should be along here to assist you on that!Edit: we usually and will have a driver page for each system here. So that should show up soon too!

Founder StamatisX Posted May 18, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 18, 2011 As far as I know you don't need drivers for the web camera (you wont need ones for the R2/R3 either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleone562 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Ah ok, can some other m18x user confirm this as well. Thanks stam too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the1trujok3r Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I did a fresh install of windows 7 and the webcam driver is not reinstalled by default. I have a PCI Simple communications device not found and the drivers are not on Dell's site nor on the Alienware CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted May 20, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 20, 2011 That's probably not the camera, we did a fresh installation with Brian and he doesn't have anything unrecognized, plus no drivers were needed for the camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1trujok3r Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well I'm curious what the PCI Simple communications driver is then because I've loaded everything from Dell's site and the alienware CD shows all my devices checked but windows shows me that the pci is not installed and i do not have the webcam as a device.

littleone562 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 it could be wireless hd, mediacard reader, wifi card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1trujok3r Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 nope. All those drivers are loaded. Like I had said the alienware shows checkmarks on all devices the only thing missing is the webcam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1trujok3r Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well it would seem I did miss 1 thing and you would never have guessed what it was...."Intel Managment Interface" Still don't have the webcam software loaded but it's total crap anyway so I'm not too worried about that.

mw86 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 What if you uninstall the unknown device and allow it to look for the driver again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1trujok3r Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 all of my drivers are installed but no webcam software on cd or on dell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
