Open Google Hangouts or Skype (if you have installed) and your webcam (if configured properly) should present itself. Does the webcam show up properly in Control Panel/Devices and Printers?

Okay. Now we are making progress. The drivers work then. No worries there.
So, you are concerned about the application that allows you to operate the webcam like a camera, is that correct?
Go into Control Panel/Programs and Features. Look for CyberLink YouCam. What version do you have installed?

What version number? However, it appears that YouCam is not part of the Media Suite (at least not in the current version).
Do you have the any CDs/DVDs that came with the Samsung when you bought it?
Seems at this point you just need to re-install YouCam to use it. Ir appears (if not listed in Programs and Features) that it may have been uninstalled at some point.

oh i dont remember if it came w a cd. i will check. i hope it didnt get uninstalled. mabe youcam is apart of something else. it doesn tell me the version. it just says cyberlink media suite + player 10. if it did get uninstalled i could just re-install it. tht shouldnt be a problem.....i hope

Updates for YouCam can be found here: http://www.cyberlink.com/support/youcam/patches_en_US.html
If you can find your original application, you can just reinstall it and then get the latest updates installed.
If you can't find it, don't just download it from the 'Net. There are a ton of scam sites that you are more likely to pick up a virus from than anything else. You can, of course, buy the current version of YouCam (see below) or you can use a free tool like ManyCam instead.
