t has become a common problem for HP pavilion laptops users to face major problems with their built in webcams. This could have been either due to a configuration problem or a problem with your driver.

For Windows Vista users

If you are using a Windows Vista operating system, this is what you can do:

1. Ensure that you are connected to the Internet and that you know the model number of your laptop.
2. connect to the HP website through the link http://h20180.www2.hp.com/…

a.k.a.
*_PCT_-_Streaming_Media_and_Broadcast_-_Simplo_Webcam_*,
this update messed up the webcam entry in device manager by removing the
imaging device from the list and there is no way to uninstall this
update.

Here is the solution:
-open device manager
-expand usb controllers list
-select ‘Simplo webcam’ device and press uninstall. Check box ‘Also
delete driver’.
-press the button ‘detect hardware changes’. A new imaging device will
appear as ‘Ricoh webcam. Repeat previous steps for this device in order
to delete it as well. Press again the button ‘detect hardware changes’.
The correct device ‘HP Webcam’ will appear in the list. Webcam is now
ready for use.
