Vf-0040 instant web cam is not working good
This is my first web cam it's a hand me down ,i spent days trying to figure out how to get it working until i found out i needed 2 different software's to run it. Download the Creative WebCam Center and WCC_PCApp_US_1_71_02 driver and know it's sort of working after all my effort.
It is so blurry i can't even make out my own face? I cleaned the lens with alcohol and a cue tips and it wasn't any better than before and there is what seems to be a fake focus adjustment knob but it doesn't move? I played with the software and used the advanced settings and got no noticeable difference except in the color of the blur that's supposed to be my face.
What did i do wrong or is the web cam wrong
Hi there @Vonita
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having problems with your webcam, and I am happy to help. Firstly, can you post the full product number and the operating system you are using? That would help me to direct you to the correct drivers.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
For now, you can take a look at whichever of these most applies to your system.

HP Compaq web cam is not working
I have Hp Compaq Notebook 620. The devices have 2MP Web Cam but the Web Cam is not working. When i try to make it on, its shows error
"No webcam detected. HP Webcam will now Close"
Please suggest the solution of the problem.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.

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

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:
JEIO71I 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. -
I downloaded a updated version of the web cam installed on my laptop, it was a version 5, this is what I was told that would come with the laptop, is was a 15 day trial, I decided I didn't want to purchase it, and now my web cam is not working

My web cam is not working no video
Hi ,
My web cam on my hp laptop G72_257CL is not working.Please help me.just pry (pull) up the frame around the top and sides. You do not need to pry out the bottom of the frame. Use your
fingernails under the inside edge of the frame, they have some double sided tape, so it might be a little tough to pry. Pry it
slowly so the tape can separate on its own. Don't force it quickly or you might damage it. Make sure you're not prying the
silver metal frame of the lcd screen, only the black plastic frame. There are some plastic hooks that will make a snap
sound when you pry the frame out, it'll take some force, so don't be afraid if you hear the snap sounds, it should be able
to snap back together if you did it correctly, otherwise you might have to use some tape to tape the frame back,
Once you've pryed out the top of the frame and have access to the webcam module, you
should see the cable going into it from the bottom, push the cable into the webcam, then see if the problem is solved,
the cable most likely just came loose. If that solved the problem, I suggest using something you can remove, like hot
glue to hold it together, just in case the webcam really needs to be replaced, you can melt the glue off and swap it out.
webcam itself somehow got damaged?, which is very unlikely

Re: Web Camera is not working on Satellite T130
I have a Satellite T130 and the web camera has just stopped working.
Can anyone tell me how to get this going again please?
ThanksAlso check the BIOS, on some models there is an option to disable the Webcam in the BIOS.
And also ensure Skype, Messenger, or other programs that use the webcam are not running, only one application can use the webcam at a time. -
Web Cam does not work for yahoo messenger
Hi,
I down loaded a s/w MacCleanse, it kinda deleted a lot of files from my mac book air after which the web cam stopped working on yahoo messenger. I checked Ichat the cam works perfectly but does'nt with messenger. Does any one have a clue on how to fix this..from my experience, attempting to use two programs that allow the use of the camera will render it unusable on the second program attempting to use it. So, if you started iChat first, then forgot to quit the program, and are now trying to use Yahoo Messenger, then you must quit iChat first and it should work.
Not unless your cam is really broken? -
