I am using a Windows 8.1 guest to evaluate Windows 8.1 before I upgrade the g6 running Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
The Pavilion g6 was bought inside the UK at a shop called Currys. and they do not sell any currys .
Anyway, the webcam does not work in Windows 8's (host) camera app:
However, VMWare still shows it.... Wait, where did it go? It was there a second ago!:
OK then, I swear it was showing a minute ago, and the Message Log has proof:
CyberLink YouCam isn't starting, and the webcam is not in Device Manager:
And it has definitley not fallen off my laptop:
Or at least externally, anyway. Picture above is taken from my other webcam, a Bush one. Named by Windows a USB UVC VGA. Old it is. Bad too. Last PC I used it on comes from 2004, and it does not boot unless I use safe mode.
Any ideas?
