Dell Inspiron Webcam software is needed.
I love the webcam. It is pretty fun to play around with. The only down part is that I don't know how to install the create avatar thing. It keeps telling me that I need to download it, but it doesn't even tell me where to go to get it! Otherwise it's a lot of fun.
