HP Pavilion Entertainment PC inbuilt webcam

Recently, I have been having intermitent problems with my built in webcam on my HP Pavilion laptop

I found this very informative thread and how to use the Device Manager for Vista, plus the updating on drivers

Go to Vista Start Button and Type ‘Device Manager’ and from the programs list click Device Manager. From the list see if you have anything name Imaging devices. Expand it and see if you have HP webcam. If you dont have it then you might have to call HP or download webcam Driver from HP website (see my other post for Drivers for HP Pavilion DV6500). If its there then you have to update the driver as it may be corrupted.

I have not updated my driver as yet, cause as stated above its working off and on and I have had no time these days. Plus something in me thinks this problem has to do with the recent Vista updates.. and really I do not use the web cam, but I will be monitoring it from now on!
