Usually, Hp pavilion comes up with some unnecessary error/problems that make some programs/applications malfunction. Such problems still persist even you uninstall and reinstall such programs/application.
The only way to resolve such problem is by doing a system restore, that is, running the windows "Recovery Manager" which will set the system to its factory default state. By so doing, your web cam will definitely work well again.
To run the Recovery Manager, click start menu, click All programs, look out for "Hp Backup & Recovery Manager", click it and run the Recovery Manager. Or restart your system, press F11, when the Hp logo shows on the first black screen display of your system and make sure you ready the instructions carefully before you carry out any action.
You also need to test your web cam to be sure it is installed before you start using it online. To do so, click on the start menu, click all programs, look out for your web cam maker (e. g Cybershot etc) click it and your web cam will open automatically. After taking picture and making videos, you can view your pictures and videos in your document. In your document, you will see a folder created, the folder will be named as your web cam maker, there you will find your pictures and videos.
You could also use yahoo messenger to test your web cam.
Take care.
Might need to check the running services and make that webcam service start
