hi,

i have a hp6730s laptop with a built-in webcam (chicony). the webca
driver is causing windows xp to freeze indefinitely at shut down (o
standby, or restart). uninstalling the driver solves the problem, bu
windows automatically reinstalls it at startup. you see my problem.

is there any way to make windows not detect/reinstall driver for th
built-in webcam?

thanks,
ff

But Win XP has hardware profile problems...
And for example I had a lot problem with my 6730s FAN, after
back/recovery Windows Vista the problem was solved

Contact HP and report this problem to them.

For instance, try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest drivers fo
the webcam that are XP supported. Get latest drivers from the officia
website if they are available there. Or get them here if you find one o
your need 'Chicony Web Cam, Webcam driver download

thats what i did. the problematic driver is the official xp driver fro
the hp website. not working.

right now i just want xp not to detect the device after i uninstall it
but i dont know how to do that--after i remove the device from devic
manager, it gets reinstalled at startup. any ideas in that direction?

i'll check out the link you suggest and see if that works,

thanks
