I am running 32-bit Windows XP operating system on my laptop. Yesterday night I got recently purchased Logitech C210 webcam from one of my friend so that I could do video chatting with my family members. But when I am trying to install the camera in my windows XP system, I am unable to do so. The camera is not at all getting detected by my system. Does anyone know what must be refraining me from installing the Logitech C210 webcam in my system? Please someone help me with your quality suggestions. Thanks in advance.

According to me the issue is with the USB port in which you are inserting the USB cable of your Logitech C210 webcam. It might be possible that the USB port might have got corrupted or is not working as it is faulty. So, in this condition I would recommend you to try connecting the webcam to some another USB port in your computer system. You can try any of the other front or the rear USB ports available in your computer. I am not sure this will help you but it is worth trying.

The problem might also occur if you have not installed all the necessary drivers for your Windows XP running laptop. So, first I would recommend you to install all the necessary drivers that are required for your laptop. Make sure that you have install drivers which are responsible for the normal functioning of the USB drives. Once you have done the following, restart your laptop if prompted by the system. After restarting the system, try to connect the Logitech C210 webcam and see if its getting connected or not.

I think you should most probably perform the uninstall/install method to make it possible for your laptop to install the necessary drivers in your system. The problem might also arise if you haven’t installed the drivers of your Logitech C210 webcam in your laptop. So make use of the original drivers CD which came along with the webcam to install the drivers for your webcam. Make sure that your system meets the necessary system Requirement inorder to install the webcam in your system.

You should always make sure that you have kept all the drivers required by your system updated. Also make sure that your system and the programs installed in it is also updated inorder to get better performance. At the time of installing the drivers for your Logitech C210 webcam, your system will prompt for a searching for update for your webcam on Internet. So make sure that first you have connected your system to Internet and second, you are searching for the updates and installing it in your system. This will surely help you in improving the normal working of your system.

I strongly feel that there is some issue with the Logitech C210 webcam which you are trying to install in your Windows XP running laptop. So, I would recommend you to cross check whether the webcam is getting installed and working properly in some other system. If you find the webcam to be working smoothly in some other system then the issue is with your laptop or else if you find the webcam not getting detected in any device, then the problem is surely with the webcam and you need to use some another one.

There is an issue with either the drivers which were provided to you along with the webcam or the issue is with the webcam itself. So, you should contact the person from whom you purchased the following Logitech webcam and show him what issue you have been through. May be then you can get the device checked if there is an issue with it or not. This will give you are clear view about where you are having the issue, with your computer or your webcam. If the issue is with the webcam then get it repaired or replaced with a new one if possible.
