hello,
the solution numbering is not classified by date ?!?
on solution 11, the link is broken when you click on the link, but if you take only " ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34501-35000/sp34746.exe " it works. (I have downloaded but not yet tried the solution)

Hi,

I have this issue with windows vista installed on my laptop. The integrated camera just doesnt seem to work now and then.

For eg., it works at times with quickplay and some times with yahoo messenger, and more often than not it doesnt work atall.

One temporary solution I stumbled upon last nite was going to 'manage' window by right+clicking my-computer, select the webcam properties, disable the webcam and enable it again.

It did the trick for me.. :-)

Fix for HP Pavilion DV6000 with built in camera. I have been searching and searching for a fix and I finally found one. Works with XP and VISTA OS.

Download HP's Pavilion Webcam Driver: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34501-35000/sp34746.exe and restart your computer again.

Hope this helps some of you!

hmmm...is your pavilion on XP, as I anticipate? if so, then unplug the webcam, and then plug back in. Does the XP see the webcam being a new device? If not, then you'll need to go to the Control Panel for Cameras and Faxes, and install it from there.

Got Backup?

If you have quickplay on your keyboard cover than it better to install quickplay. You will get quickplay software form www.hp.com and go driver section. It will ask you to enter your model number and follow instruction. If you have installed already than uninstall and get fresh copy of quickpay software.

The problem has befuddled me for months with a friends computer. She downgraded to XP and the webcam wouldn't work. At one point it was sent to HP service for a warranty hardware problem and when it came back the webcam WAS working. But I don't know what HP did. I do know the webcam driver was for a "Ricoh" device.

HP seems very confused on this issue. Knowledgabe HP post have offered solutions that have not work for me. But HP also has on their support site the following page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...

which categorically states that "If you have an HP Pavilion or Compaq Presario consumer notebook PC that shipped with Windows Vista, you should not attempt to downgrade to Windows XP. Changing the operating system (OS) will cause severe operational problems." etc., etc. But on the same page their offer advice on what to do and driver downloads for all devices???

Anyone owning a HP Pavilion laptop with the built-in web cam should follow the fix instructions outlined by HP. Slowly, HP is solving (kind of) these barriers but for now this first step is the most important stepfor fixing your laptop webcam and will save you abunch of time in the long run.

It involves diagnosing and applying thecorrect updates which are specifically made for your HP Pavilion laptopmodel.

Failure to follow the correct web cam fix instructions can makeyour web cam problems even harder to fix and worse, take up a bunch ofyour time. So if your intention is to fix the webcam problems and usethe camera as it was intended you should follow the correct web cam fixinstructions for your Pavilion model.

When ALL ELSE FAILS you could try this odd fix for the HP web cam that was uncovered by a guy named DylanBennett. The fix requires about 14 easy, individual steps and the amount of positive feedback has been substantially large...about 90 % success rate.

Use this fix only when you've tried all other steps for updating yourHP webcam and still can't get the camera working the way it's supposedto work. Towards the bottom of the page you'll find examples from many different HP Pavilion laptop owners that the fix worked for.

My 18 month old HP Pavilion dv6338SE web cam stopped working and disappeared from my control panel settings. Went on line with HP, they suggested many things. Ended up having to be taken in for repair, a new driver and cable were installed. A month ago I had to have it repaired because the wireless would not connect. The store tech told me both of these were common problems. Fortunately I had taken out a warranty.

Same laptop as yours and my web cam does not work

Comment by Odinart, posted on Apr 25, 2008

Installed supposed up dates from HP tech. Loaded and configured correctly. The web cam worked maybe two times with Quickplay. After install, there was a vista alert stating there was already an updated version for Vista installed. Still does not work for video conferencing on Windows live. Windows live states the webcam is already in use by another program. tried Googling with no results.
