I am using Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS on a 24" HP w2448hc display
(http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/e...87-3284302-215012-215012-3454237-3733149.html).

The webcam and mike are built into the display and located at the top middle
part of the display. I installed the display drivers. However, when I
opened Skype and try adjusting the video settings, the Webcam is not
detected. On the other hand, when I hooked up a Creative Technologies'
external webcam to my PC, Vista detected it at once even though I didn't
even installed the Creative drivers.

How do I activate the built-in webcam? Thks for help

I'm using a HP Pavilion Elite m9398d PC, with Duo Core Quad 9300 2.5 GH,
GeForce 9600 GS with 4mb RAM.
 
Check the manual that came with the monitor and/or the support web site for
instructions on connecting the camera and installing any needed drivers and
follow those instructions.

The HP support pages for the HP w2448hc mention the webcam and microphone as
features on "select models". Have you followed the instructions on pages
4-10 and 4-11 to install the separate drivers and software for the Cyberlink
Youcam?
 
Yes. I installed the Cyberlink Yocam and drivers as spelled out on pages
4-10 and 4-11. still didn't detect the Webcam and mike
 
What cable do you use to connect the Webcam and mike? They will not work
over a VGA or DVI cable.
