I'm running an HP Compaq 6830s laptop with an integrated webcam at the top of the lid, and for some reason my machine won't recognize it. I'm dualbooting XP and Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't find it on either OS. Any ideas, things I might be missing? Thanks in advance.

Wish I knew. When I look for it in Device Manager, I can't see it. I recently formatted my HDD and did a clean re-install of XP on it, and then Ubuntu. That wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it? Because the webcam was there and seemed to be working fine before. It showed up in My Computer, but not any more.
 
Yes it would,Go to windows update and search for updatesm It should automaticly detect and install the drivers for you.

If not go to your laptops manufacturers website,they will have all the drivers you need :)
 
There is something thats not picking up the webcam or maybe its not compatible with the system. Technology does have its problems I tell you.
