HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook webcam issues

by jenn7435 Dec 2, 2009 3:18AM PST

I dont know if I'm just stupid, but my computer has a built in HP Webcam; which only works for myself to see, or take pictures, then I have to email them.
How do I get my webcam to work through messenger things? No matter what i have the settings at, I can't get it to work.
Please help, i know its a silly question, but i've been trying to get this to work for days now!!!

This was a known issue on Vista. The fix was an updated webcam driver or failing that, using another web cam.
