HP Pavilion dv9220us
Windows Vista Home Premium
Logitech QuickCam Fusion
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600

When I restart my laptop, I have to unplug my webcam or the boot
sequence hags at the beginning when the screen is still blank. Due to
my lack of patience, I do not know if the computer will eventually
boot because after a minute or so, I will unplug the cam and reboot.
Any ideas on this one?

Unplug it.
 
I can't speak for HP's but I have a Dell that exhibits the same behavior if a
setting in BIOS is not set to "No Boot". Something to do with external USB
hard drives?
