    I just got my dv 2000t w/vista today. I need help with two things:

    1)How do I use my integrated webcam? With so much HP crapware preinstalled, i'm surprised that I don't see any program or way to even access the webcam. Do I need to download/purchase a program that will allow me to record video? Surely there should be some way to at least test it out.

    2) I'm new to bluetooth, but my phone supports bluetooth and I opted for the bluetooth option when I got the dv2000t. I turned on the bluetooth option on my phone and verified it was activated for my laptop, but the laptop did not recognize the phone. It said something about verifying that your usb receiver is plugged in. I thought that I had paid the 25 extra dollars to have all that internalized so that I didnt have to plug in anything via usb, am I wrong? if not, what should I try to do differently?

    Thanks in advance, and sorry for being such a n00b :)

    about the phone and bluetooth i suggest installing the software that came in the cd along wit your phone and then searching your phone through the connections menu in the software
    i guess it doesnt recognize your phone due to lack of drivers so in my opinio your best bet is to intall te softwre from the mobile manufacturer or download it from their website along with the drivers and the try
    all the best,
    cheers,

    oh ya o ran into this check out sections 5b and 5c as they may hopefully be of sum help
