hey, i have an hp g42 laptop with windows 7 and the webcam wont work. when i start up cyberlink youcam, it says: "Warning, No webcam detected. Try plugging in a webcam into your computer now. If you are using an integrated camera, make sure that it is turned on". It worked when i first got my computer for a few months, then it stopped. I havent used it for a few months because of this problem. Please help me! Any help is appreciated, thanks!

There should be more to that model number.

If you can't find it, can you find the product number on the PC?

It should look like this:

[danny21]

on the bottom theres a sticker, on it it says the product key, and numbers next to and under the barcodes. is that what you're talking about?

[TheShooter93]

Yes, I need the product key or the full model number.

What are you doing posting the install key for the world to see? Delete it right away.

TheShooter93, you should know better then to ask danny21 to post the product key!

danny21, Go into the device manager, Windows key + Pause Break \ Device Manager Are there any exclamation marks by the web cam?

[danny21]

when i went to device manager i didnt see the camera but i saw "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and under that theres 3 things that say "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" and 4 that say "Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller". all of them have the exclamation marks in front of them.

Thanks Danny21. We are talking about a built in we can aren't we? As for the USB's double click on one of the problem controllers. In Device Status, What does it say?

[Lance1]

What is the exact model of the system? Go HERE and pick it out.

[danny21]

yeah its built in. what do you mean the problem controllers and device status? and i didnt see it on the list but under the keyboard it says "G42-415DX Notebook PC"

That's the one Danny21. Just for an example, say that this controller in the image is the problem. Double click it and the properties box will open. Highlight whats in the Device Status and past it here.

[danny21]

ok all of them say:

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

[Lance1]

Go HERE and follow the troubleshooting steps there for Code 19. Keep us posted OK!

I misunderstood the OP and used the wrong term, my apologies. I needed the information like that represented in the screenshot I posted.

Of course I wouldn't want them to post the validation key for their OS.

Again, sorry for the trouble danny21 and Lance1.

[danny21]
