Web cam does not work (no webcam on the device list to upgrade o to find driver )

Can anyone help i just change the os to win7 64 bit from 32 bit and the webcam doesnt work, i cant even find it on the device list, and when i try to use it says that none webcam are conected, help plz ?

Hi BlackPack,
You probably need to download and reinstall the driver for your Webcam.  I checked and it is available for your computer at your computer's website.
Below are the instructions to find and install the driver. 
For your computer, the Webcam software is called MediaSmart.
Download New Driver for your Webcam:
If you are having real issues getting your webcam to work, or if you have recently upgraded you Operating System, you may have to reinstall your webcam software.
NOTE:  If all else fails and you cannot find a driver for YOUR Operating System, note that sometimes Vista drivers will work on Windows 7; Vista came first - Windows 7 and Vista remain closely related.  Just tell your website that you have Vista and see if there is a driver for you under Vista.  If even that fails, ask again for assistance and we can look for a driver for you that will work.
Go to the top of the HP forum page to Support and Drivers
Enter your Computer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Scroll down
Look for category Software - Multimedia
Select the appropriate Cyberlink YouCam Software OR MediaSmart Webcam Software – if available for your system
Save the appropriate *.exe installation package on your computer
NOTE the name and the location - the *.exe file will likely save to "Downloads “
I hope this helps!

Dragon Tips:
For those using MediaSmart:
MediaSmart Software Webcam Feature
Bookmark your Website!
Because you just changed your OS, you might want to Bookmark the link to your computer's website so you can check back to it in case you need to pick up other software or drivers at a later time.  There is a lot of information at your website:  manuals, how-to documents, software and drivers.
Recovery Media for your Operating System!
If you have never done so, be sure you have either created your own or ordered your Operating System Recovery discs from HP!  If available, you can check for the Recovery discs at your computer's website under "Order Recovery Media"
Kind Regards,

  • 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:
    JEIO71

    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.

  • My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?

    My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?
    Thank you for your help!

    Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

  • 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

  • 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?

  • Internal web cam does not work and unknown usb device pops up

          I have had my Pavillion DV6 1230us laptop now for about 7 years now and it was working great untill last year. When the lap top comes out of sleep mode or I restart the computer the " unkown device" balloon pops up. I have tried the following fixes, un-installing all the usb devices and did a reboot, I removed the main battery and held the power button for 2 minutes and re-installed it , I have re-installed the webcam drivers from HP and even removed and installed  the small mother board battery with no sucess. When the " unknown device " balloon pops up I can hear an audio prompt like I am plugging and un-plugging a usb device in one of the ports but I am just watching and hearing the problem happening.

    Hey Scotman,
    The Webcam would not be listed as USB device as it is built into the Notebook. Do you have anything connected USB? What do you see in device manager for your Image devices? Here is a video on Webcam. I am not sure if anything will help you in it or not. If you remove all USB devices in the device manager and remove all USB cords from the computer the balloon should not appear on restart.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • N97 camera does not work when i open the len cover

    I think the camera softeware has bug. Tthe camera software shows up when all the menu, and when i click i can see the zoom in/out slider but nothing there is no image showing up on the screen. The screen is dark and it looks like the camera sensor does not receive any image from outside. This can be fixed by restarting the phone but it's very annoying. I had to reset like 10 times a day. If i leave the software on it's fine but if i turn off the software (close the lens cover) and turn back on the bug occurs. Anyone has the same issue like me? Do i need to update the firmware? Im on the original firmware.

    it does not happen all the time to me, but sometimes if I open and close it to often, it would happen.
    but I don't need to reset the phone, just close and open the len cover again, and it works.

  • Viewing web cam does not work, help needed

    I'm having trouble viewing an iSight webcam on my iBook. I start up iChat on my MacBook then click accept to start viewing the webcam. 'connecting' comes up and thats as far as it goes. Same with audio, click accept and then it goes to 'connecting' then the same happens. I thought you could still 'view' the webcam even though theres not one installed on my iBook? Any help would be much appriciated, thank you!

    Hi Tymon,
    Can I ask if you have an AIM or @mac name (A screen name ) ?
    If so have you set this up in iChat ?
    "Connecting" would indicate you are not Logged on to the AIM server hence my first question.
    You can View your Preview by Clicking on your own Video icon next to your Buddy Icon pic. (or by going to the iChat > Preferences > Video section).
    If the mac firewall is On but you have not set iChat ports then you could have problems particularly if in the Advanced section you have Stealth mode selected.
    You will also need to open the ports in any device that routes to connect you to the internet.
    This FAQ may help explain the questions further

  • HP Compaq web cam is not working

    "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.

  • Satellite M645-S4050: built in camera does not work correctly

    My built in camera does not work correctly.
    It does not have any kind of effect on and it captures pictures and videos as if some kind of thermal camera was on.
    Also some videos I load up on youtube look like this.
    I have been researching for an answer but can't find it, please help me.

    All you can do is to test it with latest webcam driver.
    Remove preinstalled camera software and install latest version offered on Toshiba download page.
    If the same happen again visit nearest Toshiba service and show them how it looks like. Maybe the cam must be exchanged.
    In the past I have used several Toshiba laptops with built in cam but I have never saw something lke this.

  • My camera does not work on my ipod touch 4th gen. it just goes to a black screen i have done everything from resetting and rebooting... help :(

    I fell down the stairs the other day and busted my other ipod to the gamewerks near my house. the guy said he couldnt fix that ipod so he gave me a new one.. a better one a 32GB, the broken one was 8GB. but he told me the only bad thing is that the camera does not work and he doesnt know why... he just couldnt get it to workkk... any ideas on whats wrong?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
