There is a work around and it's the only way : install a virtual version of XP on your machine .

Hp webcam driver for compaq 6735b won't install

NO OS stated, are we to guess OS , windows what.
XP ,vista or 7
32bit and 64bit for 6 OS delivered while produced.
or W10 with the Free W10 upgrade, must I guess more?

what did it have new. XP? 32bit (x86)
then what do you have now, see? we cant guess what upgrades means. or updated. (windows update?)
compaq can be super old or up to 2013
lets see what your is.

camera the one built in to the screen top bezel that cam?
or added cam? or some USB camera> ?
here is your support page at HP real. we are not HP here.
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-compaq-6735b-notebook-pc/3687779/manuals

HP drivers are smart, they flat refuse to load on wrong pc
wrong OS or wrong camera. or PC is 64bit and you ran 32 drivers, by DESIGN.
see? my guess wrong all that. 1 or more....
see that?

if hp camera (built in)
click os here. and bits (above link has all that)
then go get your driver,
its that simple.

lets pretend , its xp 32
under multi media.
sp44106.exe



in all cases when any PC fails for any reasons like this
1 thing bad, or 2.
we go to device manager,
and click view, show hidden devices
do you see anything there with yellow, red marks or errors.
we do that to see if some drivers were deleted.
or worse, a new OS installed and many are now wrong or missing.
see?
do that first. make sure all drivers on the HP page are loaded
for sure the grapics and camera , and the first 8 on the HP sites driver page,

look for a softpaq, to autoload all that.
or run the newer

When downloading a printer driver from HP you will need to ensure that you are selecting the correct OS (eg. Windows 7) and the appropriate version (eg. 64 or 32 bit operating system). These drivers are different and using one on the other will not work.
Windows XP drivers also will not work properly in a Windows 7 environment and the majority of Windows XP drivers are 32-Bit.

Can't download and install printer driver HP Deskjet 1220C for window 7

There is no downloadable driver for this printer. You just need to update the Windows 7 list on your computer with the latest update. Here are the instructions from hp:

The drivers for your HP product are already included in the new Windows 7 operating system! You do not need to download drivers to use the product . Simply connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, and Windows Update automatically installs the driver for your product. With the in-OS The driver located in the Windows 7 operating systemdriver, some of the buttons on the product do not function and some of the advanced product features are not available. For more information about your in-OS driver, and to see workarounds for lost functionality, go to our Frequently Asked Questions below. Install the Windows 7 in-Operating System (in-OS) print driver When you connect your printer to the computer, Windows 7 detects the hardware and automatically installs the correct driver. A notification lets you know when installation begins and when it is complete. You do not have to download any software or insert the product CD. Step one: Install the in-OS driver Follow these steps to install the in-OS driver in Windows 7. NOTE: The computer must be connected to the Internet for Windows Update to detect and install your product.

Figure 1: USB cablec01704933.gif NOTE: When you connect the USB cable to the printer, and then to the computer, Windows 7 activates Windows Update. Windows Update searches online for the most recent product driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more recent than the driver stored in Windows 7, the computer downloads and installs the updated driver.The Windows Update process takes place automatically. Therefore, you might not notice that the process is in progress.
  3. Windows 7 detects the hardware and automatically installs the correct driver. A notification displays on your computer to let you know when installation is complete.
Your basic Windows 7 driver is now installed. Some functions might not be available, but you can use workaround procedures instead. See our Frequently Asked Questions section below. Step two: Print a document Print from any software program to make sure your printer is working correctly.

I have the cd but for some reason i can't install it in my computer keep telling me that there is some functions that don't meet for installation

Are you installing the printer on a new computer? The installation disc is probably for an older OS and the new computer's OS needs a different installer.

The software and drivers for supported OS versions are available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=445478&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=445476&taskId=135 . Select your OS from the list.

For some OS versions, the appropriate driver is in the OS (for example Windows 7). In that case, connect the USB cable from the printer and the computer. Allow the OS to find the driver. (For Windows, you may have to open the Windows Update panel (Start > All Programs > Windows Update). Have the program search for available updates. Then install the update (check in the Optional Software as well as the Important Updates).

I hope this helps.

First 2 of your problems are due to the fact that your laptop enters hibernation (or hybrid sleep in windows 7) and windows cannot restore your last saved state. The 3rd problem indicates you have windows problems (bad/not updated drivers, filesystem corruption, application issues). I would suggest you to reinstall windows.

My compac lap top has windows 7 install we keep getting messages to upgrade driver what does this mean?

Hi, Keeping Windows 7 updated, Microsoft has built a special alert program that not only alerts you about the current operating system's update but also other aspects of an OS such as drivers. As Windows 7 even works with windows Vista drivers, but it is recommended to upgrade all device drivers to get maximum from Windows 7. Best practice to get the update driver is from the manufacturer's website itself.
Cheers!
