    hi there,

    so i've figured out the wireless problem with my HP dv6618 laptop, but now for some reason the webcam isn't working. I tested it once when i first got it, and it worked then, but now for some reason it is no longer working. When i go to open it on MSN messenger, it says the cam is busy, and i can't view my cam on quickplay

    Check your Processes and see if you can find the one associated with your webcam; then end it.
