For a while, I’ve been searching for support documentations in regards to built in web camera troubleshooting that is installed within HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop with Windows Vista operating system. Eventhough I did the best keyword search phrases on the search engines, my results were nil due to uncommented posts on founded forum discussion related this issue. Then, I realized something … In accessing the registry for Windows Vista, it requires you to “run as administrator”.

The Steps:

1. If you have Hotmail MSN shortcut on your desktop, please select it and right click your mouse. Then choose “run as administrator”.
2. Sign in to your Hotmail Messenger. If you have set up Audio & Video setting, your built in webcam will work automatically. If not, please follow the next step.
3. Click “show menu” icon. Then choose “Tools - Audio and Video Setup”.
4. Follow Hotmail Messenger instruction and you are back to fun live webcam chat .

Enjoy !!! .Have a nice good & safe chat !
