On my windows vista (home prem.) hp laptop, I have a device that seems to be
breaking. Its my webcam thats built into the laptop, and it keeps poping in
and out of being plug in and disconnected. This is all fine and what not
(cause they included the webcam for free) except that it makes that annoying
(but useful) little sound that tells you that something has been disconnected
and connected. Well since my webcam is connecting and disconnecting every few
seconds, that sound is starting to annoy me badly. Ive tried uninstalling the
device driver in the device manager but vista just comes right back with that
automatic device install program and puts it right back to annoying me. How
can I avoid this? Can I disable this somehow cause I dont need this programs'
help with installing drivers for devices.

Any help is greatly apreciated!

I tried but it still makes that annoying sound saying that its being
disconnected. This is getting really annoying. Thank you for your time tho.

If you are in warranty you can get it checked locally at an authorized shop.

- but can't find it for the life of me
