WEBCAM

[Guest]

I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop with a built in webcam and 2 built in
mics. Now my webcam works on MSN and sightspeed but I cant figured out how
to get to it to tak pictures. And sometimes I try to use it and it says
another program is using it and to shut that one down first, but I cant find
that program so I end up having to restart my computer... any ideas?

thanks!
Much appreciated!

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....

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!!!
