hi,
i have a hp6730s laptop with a built-in webcam (chicony). the webcam
driver is causing windows xp to freeze indefinitely at shut down (or
standby, or restart). uninstalling the driver solves the problem, but
windows automatically reinstalls it at startup. you see my problem.
is there any way to make windows not detect/reinstall driver for the
built-in webcam?

But Win XP has hardware profile problems...
And for example I had a lot problem with my 6730s FAN, after I
back/recovery Windows Vista the problem was solved!

Contact HP and report this problem to them.
For instance, try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest drivers for
the webcam that are XP supported. Get latest drivers from the official
website if they are available there. Or get them here if you find one of
your need 'Chicony Web Cam, Webcam driver download'
(http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/Chicony/PC_Camera.html).

thats what i did. the problematic driver is the official xp driver from
the hp website. not working.
right now i just want xp not to detect the device after i uninstall it,
but i dont know how to do that--after i remove the device from device
manager, it gets reinstalled at startup. any ideas in that direction?
i'll check out the link you suggest and see if that works,
