    Hi

    I have an HP Dv9000z with a built in webcam that i've been trying to get to work since i bought the laptop. I have been primarily using it through aim, but every time i try and start a video conversation i see the other person and get the message "Your camera is already being used by another application. Please exit all applications that are currently using the camera and try again." I'm not using any other programs with the webcam. Anyone have any idea how i can fix this?

    Thx
