I have lost my the software for my webcam that is built into my laptop, and I had to reset my laptop.

Could anyone give me instructions on how to write new software for the webcam or give me some suggestions for software to try?

Add more details: laptop model, etc. Usually you need to download software & drivers from the manufacturer's web site. – haimg Dec 4 '11 at 3:34

Check the manufacturer's website and, if you do not find the software, contact them. The cost of writing a webcam software is certainly far greater than that of buy a new laptop! – Itai Dec 4 '11 at 3:45
@Itai There are a few countries where that statement might not be true... – yms Dec 4 '11 at 3:57

There are a number of programs that can capture images from a webcam, including AIM, Windows Messanger, and Google Chat.

If you are in need of drivers check the website of your laptop manufacturer.
