    After I had to replace a faulty hard drive under warranty, I decided to do a clean install, seeing HP sent me out the new hard drive without the recovery disc. :rolleyes: (To their credit they did ship them out 4 days later but I had already did a clean install)

    Everything went well for the most part, that is everything seems to work, but I have a a few items in device manager which show up yellow exclamation marks

    I plugged in a external web cam then loaded the drivers but it fails and it showed up as with a yellow exclamation mark (which wasn't plugged in at the time I did this screen shot or it would have another yellow exclamation mark saying ~ USB cam), on board smart cam works no problem. I have tried MS fix it, uninstalled and reboot, add new hardware wiz and looked for updates within device manager with no luck

    Could any one lead me to the software I'm most probably missing, this would be appreciated.

    Thx in advance :D

    It's a DV6-6135tx if it makes a difference.
