    i got my laptop yesterday and the cam worked perfectly fine. but today it didnt work. msn live messenger says that the cam is either used by another programme or unplugged. but neither is happening. i rebooted the pc but i got the same problem. i read somewhere that i have to reinstall the driver but im not daring to mess with it i dont wanna lose the whole thing its still brand new :(

    any advices? thanks

    The driver is really easy to install. Just run the program and it'll go and do all the work for you. For me, I have to reinstall the driver almost every time I restart the laptop...damn nuisance!
