My HP Pavilion entertainment 9000 notebook pc has been fine until 2 days ago. during a video call on window live messenger, the webcam stopped working. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, and it worked for about 15 seconds, and then stopped again. Quickplay knows I have a webcam but can't turn it on, and MSN says it is in use by another program. Help?
First uninstall the drivers and then download the latest bios update for your notebook from hp.com and then restart the computer.... then install the latest updated drivers for webcam from hp.com and check this will surely work.
If not then check for quickplay driver update too.
Another thing open task manager and then go to processes and check wethere you can find the webcam running or not if yes then right click and end the task , also check for the programs that might use webcam like if you have installed yahoo or skype messenger end the program task too.
