How do I get it to work-need drivers or software

[Sweetmuffins21]

If your problem is just the software and/or drivers you should be able to download them straight from the site or get the links by talking to HP. If it is a hardware problem, software and drivers won't fix it. It's probably that the wire is loose, like we were saying above.

[Glukes]

on your laptop under Start/HP/Recovery Manager you can restore the drivers without going on line and guessing which ones are for you

[Sweetmuffins21]

When I needed to download my driver before, I just went to the site and typed in my model and it listed all available drivers and software for my specific computer. I didn't have to guess. What he said is true also about the HP Recovery Manager, but sometimes that thing malfunctions.

My Imaging devices icon is missing, how do I get it back? Having problems with Webcam  - turn HP Truevision HD on.

For anyone who finds their way here because their camera is not working, please fix the loose connection first.  It will save you hours of time!!!  Best buy said it would take two weeks to come back from repair.  Took 30 seconds.  Cant believe that HP hasnt issued some update to alert users.

Здравствуйте!

У меня проблема по видимому еще хуже, я купил новый Pavilion dv7, номер продукта QJ393EA. Операционная система Windows 7 Home Premium. Помимо того что камера не обнаружена программой CuberLink YouCam и Skype, ее даже нет в диспетчере устройств. Очень расчитываю на помощь, т.к. веб-камера крайне нужна.

Заранее спасибо!
