    I've spent the last hour setting up my new 9000t. So far so good except for one thing, I don't see how to turn on the webcam. It's physically there on top of the display but I see no listing under the start menu or programs to turn it on. Am I missing something? The display itself is beautiful!

    I think you have XP with this lappy.
    Go to Mycomputer and you'll find HP Webcam
    If you are running under Vista you can use it with QuickPlay or MSN.

    Nope, cannot do it either way. It only works within the QuickPlay software for some reason.
