No Video Capture Hardware

I just recently had my Hewlett Packard Pavilion DV 5000 Laptop wiped clean,
right down to the basics. In doing so, I had all drivers removed as well due
to a high amount of viruses. I tried to re-install my web cam driver which
looks successful, however when the video window pops up..i get an error
message "sorry, you have no video capture hardware". I've
uninstalled/reinstalled the video camera driver, I've checked all my video
codecs settings, I even had a tech. from HP access my p.c. remotely over the
phone and he couldn't even figure it out. I really need some HELP PLEASE!

A web cam is hardly a "video capture" device..Either way,unplug the hard-
ware at pc shutdown,plug it in at other connection,xp will reinstall it.Also,
find out which chipset youre pc has,go to the mfg web site (intel/amd/etc)
locate the chipset installation utility for youre boards chipset & install
it.This
has the drivers & instructions for xp for all the pc ports
(sound,usb,etc.)...
