    Can anyone get this darn webcam to work properly? It works maybe 20% of the time, and that's only if I run the program out of a fresh reboot. The other times it says "camera in use by another application" or "cameria is being used by another program" (depending on which camera software I'm using). Even though I end every process windows can end without it crashing, I still get the same error message. I'm looking all over for proper camera drivers and the only thing that I can find is the one that windows installs and labels "vega usb 2.0 camera" (even though it's clearly NOT a USB device). Anyone help me at all? This is very frustrating, especially when I want to video chat with my family. Please note that I am closing every known application that uses my camera before I try running camera software. Thanks.
