    Hi all,

    i received my new SZ-680 from portable one yesterday (7200hd) and all seems to be working well after dealing with all the bloatware etc.. I had one issue with the disc drive after deleting nero but that problem is documented and quite easily fixed.

    The only issue i cant seem to be able to fix is using the integrated webcam for videochat on AOL's im client (latest version 6.1) I can see the other person and the audio works, however, the aim client allways says that the camera is being used by another application. Please close the application and try again. I have closed all processes that i can/believe to be anything sony related but still no luck.

    anyone have any ideas? with people going off to college now (me included) it is a feauture i would really like to try and rectify.

    Thanks for your help.
