...maybe you could try installing the two packages above and perhaps it will make your webcam work too!...

So now here I sit in Afghanistan and it doesn't work anymore. The old links for the drivers are dead and I'm thinking about painting a target on thislaptop and taking it to the range with me on Saturday. Any ideas on how to get the camera up and going again?
