    I have an HP Pavilion dv4-2153cl and my webcam randomly stopped working today. It was fine until I attempted to use GIFYO. When I tried to connect to my Webcam through them it would come up on the list but wouldn't show an image just a black screen. I closed it, re-opened it etc and it still wouldn't work.

    Later on I tried to use my Webcam to take a picture and now an error message comes up saying that it cannot connect to the HP Webcam and to close any other applications that may be utilizing it. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the program through the HP website and I've re-started my computer twice with no difference. I've tried calling customer service 3 times and get hung up every time before actually talking to someone. Anyone else have this problem??

    This is the error message:
