web cam useage

Just got my dv2500 and was wondering if there was any software that was preinstalled that would allow me to test it out.

 

Programs/software always come with the webcam's that is on your computer. Doesn't matter if the webcam came with the notebook or you bought one.

 

do u have hp quickplay? u can test it in there. It works well with Aim 6 for me

 

Hey try this software. I know it says for the dv6500t, but it works with any HP notebook with a webcam. It's just a Vista version of Apple Photobooth with special effects and stuff. It's a lot better than the QuickPlay one. Give it a go.

Let me know how it works for you.

Here's a screen shot:

 

thanks very. looks to be working great on my 9500

 

hmm. tried to install this and got an error saying it can only be installed on an HP machine. Do u think its because i did a clean install and its trying to detect sumtin from HP?

 

mr. bonner, i doubt it. i installed it on my notebook which is also a fresh install. it does not require anything hp related at all. in fact the software is made by cyberlink, just distributed through hp. it installed perfectly. try again? maybe right-click the setup and run as admin or something. maybe that'll work.

 

great find, thanks so much.
