Vista SP1, HP laptop with built in cam using Cyberlink youcam....
cam works fine on it's own, WLM works ok, but trying to start cam (whether
cam already running or not) brings up audio and video settings, when I get to
select the cam WLM immediately closes, no solutions available.
Driving me nuts !!!!!

Greetings,

Unfortunately most of these problems are caused by the webcam drivers. You might want to
head over to HP's site and see if there are any new ones for this particular camera.
