I have a Dell Latitude E6400. At the bottom of the screen, on the left of the display latch (left from the DELL logo), I have a small circular hole that looks like a webcam. If this is true, how do I activate this webcam. If not what it is used for.

I would start by unplugging the machine and removing the battery. If you can actually get into Windows and see what you are doing I would download the latest firmware.
The webcams are usually located in the middle of the screen surround at the top Right click on my computer scroll down to properties Left lick on device manager Look for a device called webcam or similar
For the Latitude E6400 the webcam was optional. Can you physically see it above the screen? You can see the camera hole centered above the screen in the picture here:

If you can see the webcam, or have used it before, try going to this website to see if the computer can still use it:

It will ask you to allow flash to use your webcam / microphone, once you allow it, the camera should turn on and display a picture. If you don't have a camera it will say no camera is detected.
For the Dell Latitude E6400 The Webcam is actually optional. To check whether you have it on your laptop look at the top of your screen. On the left of the display latch, you are supposed to find 3 items there if you have a webcam. The left most side is the microphone, so it is actually a very small hole, followed by a small light, the indicator for the webcam and a small circular one that is the webcam. If you do not have any of these on the left side of that latch then your latitude did not come with a webcam.
