• My built-in webcam on my HP Pavilion TouchSmart desktop computer will not work on all programs, online or offline and will not display on my computer.

  My built-in webcam on my HP Pavilion TouchSmart desktop PC, product #: FK935AA-ABG, model #: IQ515a, does not work, that is to say, it does not appear on my computer as a work/usable/functional/real webcam. The green light next to the real webcam above the screen doesn't flash or turn on (there is no light indicating that it is not on). I don't know how to activate it or make it work. On Windows Live Messenger, the name of my webcam does not appear on the drop-down list, and I want to know why it does not appear only on MSN but Skype, HP TouchSmart, YouCam and other online and offline programs.

  Hi DonnieS,

  As you mentioned in your post, it is usually caused due to corruption in file registry of pilots. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

  Method 1:

  The known last good Configuration feature is a recovery option that you can use to start your computer by using the most recent settings that worked. The known last good Configuration feature restores all information and the driver registry settings that were in effect the last time the computer started successfully.

  Refer to the following article in Microsoft Help to boot last known good configuration:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-last-known-good-configuration

  Method 2:

  Try to reinstall the drivers from CD/DVD and check if it helps. This is to check if the problem is caused due to the corruption of driver's record or not.

  To uninstall and reinstall the device drivers, see the following Microsoft TechNet article.

  Please reply with the status of the issue so that we can better help you.

• How to uninstall printer driver that is not installed on the computer

  Original title: my "unknown device" is a printer I own is no longer!

  To solve the problem "code 28", I have to re - install the driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 - but the printer is no longer installed, and in fact I is even more has the printer.  The HP printer appears on the screen "devices and printers", but when I click on the yellow triangle on my laptop device, it brings me to the unidentified printer and the hardware - MF\Officejet_Pro_8500_A910 & WSD & IP_PRINT ID.  How can I uninstall a printer that is not installed, or how can I update the driver on a printer that is not installed.

  Thanks for reminding me about MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware.  I used MalwareBytes a few years ago to kill a particularly tenacious virus that prevented me from my virus program execution.  I ran the two--identified only 4 files MalwareBytes and removed and SuperAntiSpyware found 286 tracking cookies - I zapped them.

  Now, the best news of all...

  Child of a friend's House of the college - he won grants and national contest for his expertise in computers/software diagnosis and repairs as a sophomore in high school.  He stopped on the way back to decipher problems with computers on the local school district and spent every three minutes solving my problem.  I don't really know what he was doing - he did so quickly - but he said to send you the link and you will understand it better than I could explain it.

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/remove-old-drivers-after-upgrading-to-new-hardware/

  The yellow warning triangle disappeared, and the unidentified printer is no longer there.

  I want to thank all those who contributed to this thread - your persistence and patience has been remarkable.  I learned a lot from the experience even if I was not able to completely solve the problem.  I congratulate you all.

• Windows Media Player 12 - Video DVD plays but the images are not displayed

  I have a DVD that we created with Adobe Encore.  It has a mixture of video and still images to a timeline.  I play this back on a new computer Windows 7 with Windows Media Player 12.  The DVD plays back fine until it reaches the fixed image on the timeline.  At that time the reading shows just the last frame of the video to the video portion.  The audio continues, but it does not show the image.  We tried multiple image formats, and nothing seems to work (.jpg, .tiff, .psd).  The video is very good reading but with CyberLink DVD player and on a standard TV/DVD player.

  Any thoughts?
