how do I use built in webcam

[thegoldenhand]

There is a problem with the internal camera. I am using it mainly for Yahoo Messenger. After sometime, it will stop working. When you try to re-initialize it, you get an error on YM that the device is not connected. I think this built in webcam needs a driver update.

I have a dv9207us. I did a clean install of windows vista to get rid of the blotware.

The webcam, quick play buttons did not work. After reading everything on the forums I tried something.

1. I uninstalled the quick play buttons and quick play program and rebooted,

2. I downloaded service pack 35813 and service pack 34236 and installed them.

3. Rebooted the system and all is working well.

The webcam now shows up in quick play and I even have a webcam icon on the desktop.

Just thought I would share what I did.

Where did you download SP 35813 and 34236? Can you provide link? Thanks!

Just make sure you have the webcam driver installed.
