Integrated webcam on HP Compaq on Vista SP1

[Kool]

Good evening
I have a laptop with 15.6" of HP Compaq Presario CQ60_130EB and Vista-Home-Premium (32-bit) SP1 with integrated webcam which cannot be activated on this OS? How to access configuration settings for AUDIO / VIDEO with an integrated Webcam?
It would be nice if anyone would help me out. Thank you in advance.

You need to install the CAM driver from the Vista installation. There is a folder c:\sw... (I don't remember the exact folder name) if your Vista is installed on C drive. After installing this driver your CAM should work!

You can go to HP support and they will help you with your webcam problem.

Here is the solution for the recorded video in HP inbuilt webcam playing very fast:

Please follow these registry steps to solve the issue where Integrated Web Cam is playing back recorded video in fast mode. This is just a workaround and a Softpaq will be released very soon.

Add registry key following below instructions:

1. Type RUN in search field on Vista programs menu and press "Enter" to launch it.

2. Type regedit and click OK to launch the registry editor.

3. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTES\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-81OF-11DO-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0000

4. Click "Edit" in the menu, select "New" then "DWORD"

5. Type UvcFlags as the name for the new word and press "Enter"

6. Right-click "UvcFlags" and select "Modify" in the menu

7. Type 10 in the box then click "OK"

8. Close down registry editor and reboot the system


Hope the above steps would reslove this issue

Have tried updating the webcam driver? Check the manufacturers websites for the latest update for your system. I also notice that your using windows vista, so you may better look for the webcam driver that is vista compatible.

Here's a few pages I put together for SOME of these problems. You'll find a pretty good amount of help for problems on the HP Pavilion laptop camera not working with Vista. Many people have found the correct information to solve their problems there and many others have found the right info through links featured there.
