My webcam hasn't been getting recognized by any application, and when I looked under Devices and Printers it showed up as "Unknown Device". I ran a troubleshoot on it and it tells me that it's been stopped because it has reported problems (Code 43).

It's not the first time it happens but the last time I really don't know if it was an actualization or something I did.
 
Welcome,

Update the motherboard bios, update the chipset drivers from chipset manufacturer's site (or motherboard site), then update the webcam driver from the manufacturer's site.

All in that order.
 
I tried uninstalling the software and it told me that it's not compatible with windows 7. But I've used the webcam before with this operating system
 
Think of it like this:

You're on a desert island and need to get back to the mainland. The only way to do so is to build a boat.

Getting those three steps completed well is your "boat".

If you built a boat and it failed/sank immediately in the shallow waters, would you give up and live on the island forever, or retrieve it and try your best, again?
