check the bios setting or check it by some external keypad

Your cam's driver won't work properly or install your cam's driver correctly with compatibility with your motherboard.

Hi Daniel

You can use the HP site to download the application which can access the web cam. Or you can use Camera and scanner wizard which is in Startmenu (in Win XP) you will get the camera working.

When ever a laptop comes with an inbuilt webcam , a default application will be provided by the manufacturer to access the cam.Search for the same and use it. You can also access the cam through control panel.

One simple way is to use a IM application like Yahoo Messenger, Skype or Gtalk which support video chat , it opens up the cam automatically once you start a video chat

Connect to the Internet and get your download. Just
type at the search engine (download for Software driver
compac 510 webcam ) and click on it. Follow all the
instruction so you can get your download. Then, at your
PC, open the download, and have it installed. Then, test
your web cam.

Make sure your router isn't blocking the ports for it.
