Camera Problem

[OS7]

Hi all, i have a real annoying problem lol
I have a Build In cam in my Toshiba satellite laptop,and everything is installed(Hardware+Software), but SOMTIMES and not all the times, when i want to use it in my msn convos a message appear saying that i cannot use the cam because it's beeing used by another program and ,your conversation cannot begin because your camera is currently in use or not plugged in. Make sure your camera is available and try again

Althougt i am not using it with another program

Go to :
Start -> run-> msconfig-> services-> then stop the service that is using the cam and restart your PC...
You should know the name of the service...

Man, in the services tab, not the startup tab...

Ok,i searched my service tabs, but it looks like most of the programs are microsoft programs.
And eventhought there are other programs,i have disabled them,my problem still occures.

did u try to uninstall/reinstall the driver?

[OS7]

no i didint,because i cant find the driver of the cam because it's build in and i've lost the serie of my laptop so i cannot enter to anysite and download drivers.
What do u think?

The probable causes can be:

• The Internet service provider (ISP) or a firewall are preventing access to the ports that are required for communication with the Web camera.
• There are problems with a device known as network address translation (NAT), a router or a network device domestica.
• There is enough bandwidth to initiate conversation with the Web camera.
• These asking to see the image with your contact Web camera at the same time as your friend sends you an invitation of Web camera.
• If you are having a conversation with web camera with other contacts, it may be that some of them have a problem with the network.
• If your friend can have a conversation with web camera with other contacts, might have a problem with the network.
