    I've updated the driver and everything and works fine in QuickPlay but i want to use it for other purpose such as Yahoo or MSN. After reading few other post in the internet, i stumbled one that says add it through Scanner and Camera wizard. I did that and after the required reboot, the notebook went to blue screen (memory dump) and could not go anywhere. The fix option on the OS doesn't help either. Is there a way to fix this? Do i have to reinstall vista? How can i undo the scanner and camera wizard thing... i also didn't have a restore point set up yet =(

    Help pls...


    My spec is:
    DV6000t, t7200, 2GB RAM, 256MB nVidia GO 7400, mic+webcam, bluetooth+tuner.

    I'm using it in Skype with Vista and it's working for me. Have you downloaded the lastest driver from www.hp.com?

    Thanks guys. I'll try again tonight. I'm assuming when you said uninstalling means during safe mode, right? Is it just pressing F8 during startup to get to safe mode?
