I tried calling the HP customer call center, and they could only tell me that there is a driver coming out by the end of March 2007. They told me to check Microsoft's update website, as well as hp.com. The online chat support also referred me to the Muvee Auto Producer software, which is available as a trial software. However, this software couldn't recognize the integrated webcam.
HP.com will tell you about using Quickplay to launch the webcam. As you probably figured out, Quickplay software does not let you easily record in realtime, save, and edit files. The HP chat support person told me that the HP team is working on this issue. Unfortunately, there is no updated webpage that can give you this information unless you individually call customer support.

I also have a dv6000 HP laptop with Vista Home Premium. After installing Yahoo Messenger the webcam worked and I was broadcasting. The next time I tried it--no broadcast, not even a picture in the window; camera light was on. I tried camera with the quickplay software and it worked. I even installed Live Messenger(the microsoft one) and it was broadcasting the first time I tried it, but after that it does not work. Odd that there is only one capture source available in the webcam settings.

Open Messenger, click on tools and run either the audio/visual wizard or webcam settings.
Then it will be available when you are using messenger
