    My webcam on the FZ190 CTO
    2.2ghz
    8400GT
    160GB 5400rpm HD
    Vista Home Premium
    ...etc

    is having some issues. I think it to be some kind of software issue, but it has happened from day one. I never did a clean install, but I removed a ton of Bloatware and then installed a bunch of stuff....I wouldn't know to begin checking for conflicts. But when I go to start the camera after using the computer for a while it says 'the camera failed to initialize because it is already in use by another software' or something like that. Which sucks. I know I've seen some other complaints about this issue--is there a known solution? Or do we just have to count on Sony to fix it?
