Got me a shiny new dv9000[solved]

.. is that I can't figure out how to use the bloody webcam.

I went into this "muvee" program that comes with it, select this "get video from webcam" option and it tells me that there's no webcam installed or turned on. Then it brings me to a window that shows where a video could be played, but all the buttons (including the "start recording" one) are grayed out. But there is a drop down that lists my "HP Pavilion Built In Camera" as an option, and whenever I select it I get the aforementioned error message..

Anybody else have one of the new pavilion notebooks with this issue?

For the record, the unit is running Vista.

    Just an update, I tried using my webcam in Windows Live Messenger and it says it is not plugged in or installed either.

    After spending the better part of the day with HP total care I got the issue resolved; all I had to do was install a softpaq.
