My sister just gave me her old laptop for my birthday and it has one of those webcams on top of the screen, like so: [img]http://www.mypay-computers-credit.com/wp-content/uploads/built-in-webcam.jpg[/img] problem is, I can't get it to work/I don't know how to work it. I asked my sister and she said she had no idea either. Do I need to install anything? How do i get it to work? Any info is greatly appreciated.
Go on the HP support site and try to find the page that has all the drivers for your laptop specifically. If HP's support is any decent for that particular model, it should have webcam drivers somewhere in there. That is, IF your laptop is HP. (I assumed so from the picture.)
Download VirtualDub and try capturing an AVI file from the webcam.
Go to my computer and see if there's anything that resembles a camera. Or you could try under devices and printers and see if it's there. I don't know what operating system you have so I really can't give detailed instructions.
