I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. When I upgraded from Vista to 7, my webcam stopped working. I have tried to download a new version of HP Mediasmart Webcam Software, but it still isn't working! Please help!

you can use any free driver download application http://driveridentifier.com/download.php
after installing you can free scan an update, if you need further information for using driver driver-identifier let me know i help you

That's a common problem with a OS upgrade. What OS did you install? What was in the HP? XP? Vista? Try here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-Software/Windows-7-Upgrade-Guide-for-dv6000-dv9000-models/td-p/179816

Windows Vista and 7 ( can't remember about XP ) come with native drivers for the webcam so it may be a problem with these. You could try running a system file check by browsing to all programs, accessories, right click on the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. Type in the following command and hit return. sfc / scannow
If that doesnt work download and install the software driver for your webcam on the link below. http://www.downloadsource.net/d16952/HP-Pavilion-Webcam-Driver-Windows-Vista-x32-x64/ i hope this works for you.
