    I do have HP Compaq Presario C772 TU of the C700 Series Laptops.

    Obviously they were packed with the latest OS of that time i.e Vista but all the drivers that works on Vista works with Windows 7 except for few.

    But the main fact is that Windows 7 is a very advanced OS till now and is already packed with most of the drivers.

    For example you dont need to install drivers for following :

    Video/Graphics Driver - Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family

    Driver Network - Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver

    Driver Network - Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

    Modem Driver - Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP

    And for the following Vista drivers work well :

    Audio Driver - Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver

    Mouse Driver - ALPS Touchpad Pointing Device Driver

    Input Device Driver - HP Quick Launch Buttons

    Storage Device Driver - USB Mass Storage Device Driver

    For rest that does not work with Vista drivers :

    (You may click on the links to download drivers)

    Storage Device Driver - Intel Matrix Storage Manager Ver:8.8.0.1009

    Chipset Driver - INF Update Utility Ver:9.0.0.1008

    Great question buddy. Here is what i did on my laptop. install picasa 3 . Launch it and near 'import 'icon there are 4 icons horizontally click the last and voila webcam is on. Other applications like skype will recognise the webcam automatically. Or you can purchase easy cam.BUT THE DEFAULT APP WONT WORK AFTER INSTALLING WINDOWS 7.
