Hi, HP G60 214 EM (European/UK). Nvidia GeForce 8200M. 32 bit Windows, now Win 7. It's about 4 years old now, I guess.

Yep, thanks, had that installed before, 2009 version. Present in C:\SWSETUP\
So I installed it just to see what would happen.. and Action Centre still shows a driver update (which doesn't download), PnPDriverNotFound as before.
Hi, thanks. For a moment I thought there was a chance of having solved it, but no. Probably after installing the driver above, I noted Windows Update offered the graphics driver update and the nForce controller. So I accepted those, and restarted. The graphics driver is now back to a 2013 version.
Here's the detail: (Note the reference to 'a new device attached to your computer').
1. Windows Update shows nothing.
2. From Action Centre (Download and install a Driver Update):

Hi, I'm fairly sure it is the webcam.
It certainly doesn't work.. and did - and with this windows installation.
Imaging devices
Device on USB2.0 Hub properties
Driver date 21/6/06
version 6.1.7601.17514
No drivers are installed for this device
- Update driver
=> the best driver is already installed
Uninstall, restart
=> same.
Tried the driver you suggested.. another old HP driver- webcam unaffected.
I've found a number of posts where users lost their webcam and could never get it back again by ordinary means.
There doesn't seem a specific driver for it on HPs website.
I've no idea exactly what caused this, except it may be linked to attempting the IE10 update.
If desperate, I do have some disk images... but would lost some changes in going back some time of course..
