    I've been using the vgp-vcc5 "MOTIONEYE" camera that came with my VGN-SZ433N (running on Vista Business) and it worked fine for awhile, until I installed Skype. From then on, I've been receiving errors of my camera being "in use in another application" when I try to run programs requiring the use of my camera (although I was only running that program, and no others). I've tried updating my drivers and uninstalling the pre-installed Camera Capture Utility to remove the conflict but nothing works. In Device Manager, it shows the camera as working correctly, and it seems that the camera is detectable but simply unable to load. I've looked for solutions everywhere but I can't seem to find one.

    Help please?
