    Hi Everyone
    in my "Device Manager" there is an "Unknown device" which is Webcam. I'm not sure what happened with drivers.

    I looked at hp.com but they don't have any drivers for a web cam just a software to use webcam.

    Can anyone direct me where I can download drivers?

    thanks

    I thought Windows Vista automatically installs the driver for the Webcam. It did for my HP Webcam. :confused:

    in my case Vista can't find anything - after deleting unknown device (webcam) it completely disappeared from "device manager". I'm not sure how to reanimate webcam. If anyone can help with this issue I would really appreciate it

    install usb drivers from intel

    basically get the setup drivers exe fr the PM45 chipset from intel
    and reboot and i think you should see the device

    I have GM45 since it's integrated video. This web camera issue is really upsetting. I don't want to spend DAYS configuring my system again if I have to do installation from a scratch.
