Hi,

Go onto the web under your web cam manufacturers and there you should find the driver for it.

Let me know if you need more information

Thanks

Its either the web cam is broken or that the driver for it is corrupted and now the os has no way of controling or turning on the web cam.

Try this:

Reinstall the web cam driver.

If this does not work, check device manager and see if the webcam is listed.

If the camera's driver is reinstalled and the unit is listed then there is an os issue.

Write back to me with your findings after you have tried all above

hi harley, I think upgrading your OS to vista or win 7 doesn't help you find out where your web cam was located. I think you need to install the driver that the laptop must have. The driver I am referring to is the driver of the whole hardware of your laptop(display driver, sound and including your web cam). If you can't find it, you may wish to ask from the store where you bought your laptop. Hope this help harley.

I would assume this is a built in web-cam. Normally a web-cam software comes installed on your computer and all you need to do start the software and the web-cam will start. Or you may use this link to get a free web-cam software. http://www.eyespyfx.com/my_webcam_broadcaster.htm
Note, if the web-cam is not a built in web-cam this will work a bit differently.

There are two files needed for the webcam to work. Go to the HP support driver page and look for the driver for the Cyberlink Youcam. You'll have to put the exact model number in a special search box in order to download the youcam software from HP

hi,
the most common reason for this is that the driver is not installed. click here to download the driver(the driver is generic so can be used for all models).
