Web cam not found on my hp pavilion dv9000 after i change the os from windows vista to windows xp

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

using a web camera is very simple even though it can be complicated sometimes.

you may be seeing a driver installed for ur web camera, in the device manager. But u need an application to run ur camera.

Dont worry i've been through the same problem i'll definately help u fixin it.

Follow the Links below & do as per instructed...

Select ur operating system & direct urself

Consider if u selected Windows XP,
then go for
HP 1.3 MegaPixel (MP) Webcam Software Drivers
and download it..

Consider if u go fir Windows Vista,
then go for
HP Webcam Driver with Firmware Upgrade for Microsoft Windows Vista
and download it..

it has to work for definate as i solved my own problem this way..


If this works, please rate me, i really need some good ratings...
if its not working, anyhow, feel free to ask..

Thanks !!!

If you did not have Vista with the new laptop then you will certainly need to go to HP's site which is very user friendly and download the Vista drivers for that webcam.

Você vai precisar instalar drivers para sua web cam que suporta XP 2002.

Você terá que instalá-lo a partir do CD que veio com o computador.

Ou você vai ter que procurar os drivers na internet.

if it is 64 bit u need to chk the driver for the cam for 64 bit or chk for the updated drivers for MFG website

Here's the driver you need to install:ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34204.exe

XP picks webcams as a Video Device.

Check "My Computer" you will be able to access the Cam

hp.com

Go start run then type DXDIAG and let me know for system models and i will find right driver for you!
