First thing would be to install the drivers, and then you can use any webcam software to use it. Might be that HP installs some extra software for specific settings. If you don't have the webcam, try: http://www.driverfinderpro.com/
I found that HP will send a replacement CD for your choice of Windows XP, Vista or 7 via US mail to my US zip code for free. (you may incur costs if you live outside the US) from this page:
You might find simple drivers from other locations, but they might be infected - so use an up to date virus scanner on anything you download. Getting a free CD direct from HP is the safest way to go.
As an update to the posted problem, I have got the camera software loaded by opening the disc contents and then opening folders and clicking on individual setup arrows. This after the auto setup for the disc, repeatedly failed to work with the XP home SP3.
As this is only a partial success and not the way it all should have installed, I am now talking to HP about the issue.
Yes the camera now works on my XP operated laptop, but not all the arcsoft and HP add ons work yet. Watch this space.
I'm having this same problem. Any help would be great. I've even disabled automatic driver installation, and tried pointing the "update driver" to where the driver executive is, but it still wont work.
