Brand new Pavilion dv7, cyberlink youcam program gone? Tried to download, but unable to because it had a version .5 on it. It did work, I must have removed it? How can I get it back?

Hi younggrandma40. What is the model number of your Pavilion D7? What program are you trying to use your webcam in?

Thanks for your reply TwoPointOh, I managedto fix the problem, first I unclipped the top then pushed in the little plug, which then showed up the web cam in my devices, I opened a website for specticals that allows you to use your image via webcam to virtualy try glasses on, but it wasn't working, then I tried opening Cyberlink Cam, it wouldn't open so I uninstalled and re-installed still didn't work, so I downloaded ManyCam, and it worked, then downloaded Skype and it worked too, went back to specticals site, still didn't work, so I realized its just their website, and cyberlink Cam program as works with everything else. So it was just my plug not pushed in enough. 🙂

Hi rimjam, I'd been trying for years to get mine to work, and I saw on here someone had showed how to clip of the edge up top, carefully and push the little plug in near the cam, (tiny little plug with wires) so I tried it and it worked, fixed mine.
