G530 and built in web cam working not under W7

I upgraded my OS to W7 a few weeks ago. I paid for the upgrade DVD from Lenovo directly. When I received the DVD they also provided me with a CD of the drivers that I need. When I run the exe under the cam directly I get an error message letting me know that the hardware does not exist. I have tried the online version of the driver and I get the same error message. I can see the camera in the "Devices and Printers"
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this issue. I need to cam for Skye with family in Australia.

Since posting my original issue, I have found that the web cam is actually working. I am able to do video chat in Yahoo messenger and Skype. I am also able to broadcast out via sites like Cam4.
I did find a really great substitute for the EasyCapture program. I found the program 'WebCamMax" http://www.webcammax.com. It is not free but it is worth purchasing. It gives you a lot more special effects than EasyCapture does.
I hope that this has helped.

Satellite L500-1WG - Built in web cam is not working

My built in web cam doesnt seem to be working, I discovered this last week and i've tried a few solutions such as uninstalling then reinstalling the driver but that work.
Also I delete my system restores to save space so I can't really go back to when it did work.
I don't think that i've installed any webcam drivers lately so I don't think it was that.
Help?

Hmmmm.....what can be done now?
Generally speaking webcam driver reinstall should help but you have tried it already.
Which operating system do you use?
Try to remove web camera application again, clean registry and all entries there, restart notebook and try to install right webcam driver again.
I really dont know what else you can try.
By the way: what is the webcam status in device manager?

Web-Cam does not work on Lenovo G480, PLEAS HELP!!

Hello,
I have a Lenovo G480 (20165), and my built-in Web-Cam is not working.
When I enable it by pressing Fn+Esc the little light by the Web-Cam turns on, then shuts off after a second.
So I downloaded the Lenovo Easy Capture, and when I open the software, I get a message saying "Failed To Open Camera".
And when I turn on my laptop, the little light comes on for a short moment, then the light shuts off.
I don't know what to do, It's a brand-new laptop and I've never been able to get the Web-Cam to work, not even on Skype.
I would REALLY appreciate the help. Thank you!

Have you installed camera drivers from the us support site? Try reinstalling them

I Am using hp pavilion p001tx laptop. My web cam is not working
It shows a warning
No web cam detected. Try to plugging in a webcam into your computer now. If you are using an integrated camera, Make sure that it is turned on.
Help me please.

Check if the drivers are installed or not.
Try to update the camera drivers and restart the system.
You can also go to device manager setting and see if the webcam is disabled or not.
If everything fails try system resore or run OS recovery.

Hello Manishshakya,
I see that you are having problems with the webcam on your computer. The unit you have is a HP commercial unit.
I would suggest posting your problem in the HP Commercial Forum as well. There are more users with the computer you have on this board and it is specific to your computer.

Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.

Hi.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
I have checked the software that I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
Best regards:

I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
did not work.
wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
Webcam detected in device manager.
the webcam light come on but no image.
I actually see the back drop through the image space.
running windows 7, fully updated.
I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
does not work often.
I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
Is it possible it's a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
Don't feel to go that way.
Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
What else can I do to fix this problem.
Can hp send me another internal webcam.

You need to visit the website of the manufacturer to download and install the webcam driver and related application software.

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

Web cam does not override iSight camera. Any suggestions how to do so?

I bought a Logitech webcam but cannot get it to work. The iSight camera comes on instead and overrides the web cam. Any way to fix this?

If your Logitech webcam is Mac-compatible, it should be menu-selectable in the app you are using. Different camera apps work differently. Your Mac's Help in each application should give you more info on how each particular app works, but here are a few examples:
• Messages:
• Photo Booth:
• FaceTime:
• Skype:
• QuickTimeX:
If your camera recognizes only one camera, apps may not display even the inbuilt camera in the menu.
Different iMovie versions support different cameras in different ways. Search your iMovie > Help for info on your version.
