Windows 7: IE10 fails to install on HP laptop running Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit

Hi- it's pretty boring, I'm afraid. I've enabled hidden devices in this view.

One comment I read suggested the webcam may be installed using a program supplied with the laptop.. Cyberlink Youcam.

I have that installed, but of course the webcam isn't working.

I'll try reinstalling it.. seems a weird way to deal with a lost driver.

Oh, dev mgr only lists the one driver entry under Imaging Devices.. so there's not a conflict.

Your device manager looks good . Try to use a program that uses webcam like Skype .

Presently am looking thru this:

(HP Troublehooting, my PC, etc.. There's quite a bit about webcams.)

Despite the dev mgr appearing clear, it shows no driver installed (first attachment)

But it should identify the webcam as this: (2nd attachment)

I've also tried downloading and installing the original Cyberlink Youcam as suggested in 'Troubleshooting'.

Sorry.. those attachments are both how it should be.. if there were a driver installed

These show what I actually have- driver details, but no driver installed. Hmm.

Time for a registry edit?

Ok, so change of plan. Most people find a lost internal webcam driver impossible to fix. So I've restored my Windows and apps partitions from a disk image taken before I tried updating to IE10.

My PC had also begun to hang during the shutdown phase of restart after all this, so this was inevitable.

=> Webcam back, Dev Mgr entry now shows HP Webcam.
=> Restart ok.

After applying Windows Updates, bar one NVidia driver update (which downloaded, but failed repeatedly) I manually installed the Feb '13 one I had.

Action Centre still shows a driver update pending.. the same as above.
I guess that's consistent with windows update, anyway.

So I'm just left with a Windows Update Nvidia graphics driver, which can only be a month or so out of date, and avoiding IE10.

The Windows graphics driver may well be a lot older than the one your' using - simply ignore it, or hide it.
Please post new SFC and CheckSUR logs, and we'll take a look and see what's there that may block IE10.

Hi, sorry for the delay.. after restoring the disk image had some other things to update, and other things intervened.

This time sfc /scannow fails... umm, I can't make anything of the log myself..

Also found these IE10 log files still present.. the hardware check seems ok.

The IE10 logs are interesting - they show that at the time, you had both BitDefender and Advanced System Care installed.

If this is still the case, you are likely to have major problems.
UNINSTALL Advanced System Care - after attempting to undo anything its registry cleaner has managed to screw up.
