How to use HP Mini's built-in webcam in Windows 7?

I have a new HP Mini 5101 netbook. It came with a built-in webcam. Yay! It also came with Windows 7 Starter. Ugh!
How do I get it to access the built-in webcam? In Windows XP, you'd just go to My Computer, and there was a camera icon right there. You'd double-click it, and the camera would start operating. I can't find any similar feature for Windows 7, I can't find any topic in the HP Help for using the web cam, and there's nothing listed in the support topics for accessing the camera in the HP Mini support section.
The camera is recognized in Device Manager, so I know it's not a driver issue. I just don't see where I'm supposed to click to access the webcam.
Someone must have come across this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sir_Timbit

Dorgem has been discontinued so I think you'll have to go with MSN live messenger.

It does not function the same as windows, in that it does not have an automatic snap function. You can put multiple apps up side by side though. You might want to consider using Spaces instead.

How to use Mac Mini Server as media server

I recently purchased a Mac Mini Server and want to make it my media center accessed by my TV.
This is what I have on my network:
1x Mac Book Pro
3x Mac Books
4x iPhones (2x iPhone 4, 2x iPhone 3Gs)
1x iPad
1x 1TB external Drive
1x Time Capsule 500 Gig
I want to figure out a way to easily put all the Video/Photos and Music onto the Mac Mini Server from all phones, computers and iPad. I then want to be able to watch them from my TV.
I then want all the devices to be able to see the videos/photos from them in real time if needed.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Darren

iCloud when available later this year will help a lot. However in the mean time the only option is to either
sync all the iPhones/iPads to their computers
copy all the libraries on to your Mac mini and then import them in to the master library
login via file sharing to each computer and then import them in to the master library
use FireWire Target Disk mode and import them in to the master library

How to use Mac Mini as web hosting server?

Hi,
I would like to use my mac mini as a web hosting server.
I have a few domains that I want to host on my mac mini.
How do I configure/setup the mac mini?
Best,
Leo

yes, a little. it's nice for people not used to setting up from source or doing tons of stuff in the command line. it installs like any other mac application & puts a nice control pane in system preferences. plus, you can set up for updates to keep everything current with patches.
I'm not sure how to handle the multiple domains, but whatever you find on apache that covers this should also or mostly apply to you too.

How to use Mac Mini's and HD Freeview to capture raw TV satellite feeds in NEW ZEALAND?

Hello, this is my first post on this kind of forum - I am not very tech savy so go easy on me! Ideally I am hoping someone can offer some constructive advice.
I am part of a business that captures television off air as part of an ongoing contract. The system was implemented years ago and consists of 12 capture chains which are set-top cable boxes. They are a mix of Freeview NZ (free) and Sky TV (pay) - both on Satellite (Optus B1 I believe). The boxes are connected to Eye TV 250 boxes which are running through mini mac's (Mac OS X 10.5.4) that all have 1TB drives attached.
We are capturing two hour scheduled harvest stream blocks, and editing the individual programmes out manually, for an average of 15 hours - equivalent to 27GB, per capture chain, per day. While this system works ok it is very labour intensive and we would like to make the system more automated. There are also a few issues which I would really appreciate some guidance or suggestions on:
1/ Eye TV turns the digital signal from the decoder to analog and then back out to digital again because we are using S-video composite cables. Ideally we would like to capture HD Raw signal with little or no compression at all. We could upgrade to the Eye TV HD box but would prefer not to because.....
2/ ...Eye TV creates a proprietary file format (Eye TV specific file) that requires exportation to play in QT or VLC and while you can export as MP4 this takes a considerable amount of time. Up to 7 hours for 1 hour of capture - far to slow for our requirements. Therefore we export as a Mpeg Program Stream which slightly compresses the file and spits out an Mpeg 2. IDEALLY we would be creating H.264 files
3/ We can only export up to 2 hours, 15 minutes of capture (any more than that and the file goes dead (black) from that point on).
4/ Because we are in little old NZ, Eye TV (North American) won't pick up the local EPG (Electronic Programming Guide). This means all the scheduling has to be done manually and the meta data is not captured.
So ultimately we would like a system that captures television with little or no compression of the digital signal, in an H.264 format, with the New Zealand EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) available for both scheduling and metadata, that fits within a Mac system, is not Eye TV (or does not create software specific files) AND is cost effective.
Goodluck.

Hello & welcome to the foruns!
Maybe I can help with one facet...
Just a quick note for people who use Elgato’s EyeTV on their Macs in New Zealand. I’ve got an Automator script here that will fetch a TV schedule and load it into EyeTV. It takes care of deleting the file it downloads but you might need to open it (use the Automator program) to change where it downloads to.

How to use iPod mini USB in car - manage playing

I am getting reacqauinted with my iPod mini and see that I can play it in my car using the USB port, but can't seem to access the controls...it just displays do not disconnect. I turned the car off before I disconnected the iPod. Will appreciate any feedback here!

Yes I have the same question too. When I plug my fairly new160 gig ipod classic into the USB port of my new car, all the ipod screen info defaults over to the car's screen and you have to navigate what you want from the touch screen in the car. Fine no problem. But when I try to do the exact same thing using either of my old ipod minis (which otherwise work just fine with headsets) I get an error message which basically says. this is not going to work. WHy is that? ...Anyone?

How to use the BD menu built into the player in Encore CS4

I cant get Encore to create a production that responds to the player Top Menu button (Panasonic Direct Navigator table). Cyberlink, which was bundled with the burner, does this by default. Place a number of videos into the production, dont create a menu, and OK!: Press the Top Menu button and the player's built in table pops up with a list of all titles.
In Encore, press the Top Menu button, and you get 'operation not allowed'. It appears that Encore requires a Title button action?, but opening the player table is not an option. There is no Title button on the remote; there is Top Menu and Popup Menu.
There's got to be a simple solution. Player menu tables have been around since DVDs.
thanks

I'm not aware of any method to access a menu system that is only built into hardware. My own Sony DVD does not have such a menu, and if there is none on the DVD, I get none during playback no matter which buttons I press.
The standard method is to add your own menu if you want a menu.
