Hi,

HP has a firmware update for those webcams that is required for it to
operate under Vista, you need to look up your model on their support site to
get the proper one.

Try to download this logitech driver:

It worked for my built-in webcam on my dv2123tx. Hope it helps =)

Had the same problem on my HP dv9267. I can use the built in webcam with
Skype and Windows Live messenger using the following procedure:
Put PC into hibernation, then exit hibernation and immediately use the web
cam - for me this works for one webcam session. if you exit the webcam
application and restart, you have to go through the hibernation procedure
again. I have spoken to HP support but they don't acknowledge the problem.

Hi
I have HP dv 6000 with a built in webcam. I had to download/update BIOS to
get my webcam to work from the HP download page.

Hope this helps

You know I had similar problems with my HP as well... the cam was
unreliable..... I found a thread that suggested installing an Acer
driver.... I did that and the cam has run perfectly ever since!

It is the Acer Chicony 5.7.28.40 and I got it from the Acer website....

I also upgraded the BIOS a number of times but I don't think that is the
fix!!

If your mouse pointer disappears... after a screen saver activation or upon
awakening from Sleep.... add trails to your pointer.... make them short if
trails bugs you... that solved that problem as well.... it took me weeks to
find these fixes and no thanks to HP or Microsoft!!!
