    Web cam not working? Try Vista drivers, those should work.

    You'll need the webcam drivers, but great that you install the chipset drivers first. :D

    edit: I was wrong, my webcam is just a USB 2.0 device; detected automatically.

    There are no drivers needed (and none exist) for the webcam in the dv5t.. it has worked fine for me in Win7.

    How do you know the unknwon devices are the webcam? Have you tried installing and running Youcam to see if it works?

    Find the hardware PnP ID and search for it on google. That's the only way to get most webcams to work within Win7.

    Ah that is nothing to do with the webcam. That is the HP Hard Drive ProtectSmart feature (an accelerometer).
