    I have a dv9000t which I have upgraded to Vista Home Premium and everything is functioning correctly except for the webcam. I am unable to change any of the advanced settings. I used to be able to change them from SightSpeed or MSN but now I can't change them at all. The options are there but I can't change them, they are greyed out. This includes the white balance and the exposure settings which are the most important to me, and I can't even control when the webcam goes into the awful "low-light" mode. I have the newest drivers from HP and the webcam functions correctly otherwise. Are other people having this problem and is there a fix? Thanks.

    The HP web site has webcam drivers for the dv9000 running Vista. An update may be in order.
