    Hi,

     

    I have a HP laptop (Pavilion dv2000) which had Vista on it and I had a program called 'Youcam' on it which was the program I used to operate my webcam. Yesterday I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) and it's disappeared and I do not know how to reinstall it. I looked but it seems it's onlt compatible with Vista. Help.

    The vista driver should work fine. If it will not install, use the compatibility switch, available by righ-clicking on the installer.

    Hi Jenna1989,

     

    You can first try the Compatibility Mode as Vegan mentioned. For the detailed steps, please refer to: HOW TO: Install a Hardware Device Driver using Compatibility Mode

     

    If the issue persists, it is recommended contacting HP directly to confirm if there is any driver and firmware update for this webcam.

    Thanks it worked fine :)

     

    I was wondering how to get QuickPlay installed again. The buttons work but they no longer turn orange when I touch them. Help?

    Hi Jenna1989,

     

    Please check this thread from HP forum: QuickPlay for Windows 7.

     

    If the issue persists, please contact HP directly for compatibility confirmation.
