Another way is to use a IM application like Yahoo messenger,NetMeeting,etc. They will have video capabilities that will work with your webcam.

The HP Pavilion DV6000 is a laptop from HP's entertainment series; this series is optimized for media and gaming. Unlike some of the newer models, it doesn't feature a built-in webcam. Webcams are an asset to online communication, allowing you to stream a live recording of yourself. Installing an external webcam to use with this laptop model is quick and easy.

1.Plug the webcam into a free USB port on your laptop.

2.Wait for any missing drivers to load; a notification will appear in your system tray when the process is finished. If drivers do not load automatically, see Resources for a download link.

3.Wait for the webcam software to install itself. Alternatively, if your webcam came with a CD, insert it and install the software from there.

4.Open the webcam software to turn on your webcam. Once the software loads, you will be able to see your webcam image.

I don't quite understand this question, although I'm gonna guess you can't get it to work.
First of all you should try and see if you have turned it on, this can often be done by clicking on a physical button on the laptop.

If this doesn't work, you should try and find the appropriate drivers for the webcam, for me to help you with that, I need to know the brand of the webcam or Laptop

Hi
You can go to the manufacture's website to get the latest drivers for the camera.

Please tell us your results
Good Luck

It sounds like the webcam recording software was erased. Do you have any other camera-using apps like Skype that you can use to confirm the webcam works?

If you need a program to take pictures with your webcam, this website should do the trick.

If your webcam doesn't work at all, you'll probably need to install a new driver for it. If you can't find one, I could probably help you find one.

I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the software for the webcam
