Webcam Problems.....?

Mmk,

So i have a built in webcam

And whenever I click to get it started,

A window pops up and says,

Webcam Driver Open Failed. Please Restart Camera Or Computer.

This has been happening FOREVER!!

So obviously the computer has been re stared since then.

I don't know how to restart the camera though.

But if you could just tell me how to fix this,

that would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah and i have a Toshiba computer,

I have been on the wesite and i just don't know what to do.

    Go into the control panel on the start menu, click classic view on the left, click on device manager and look for the webcam in the list and uninstall it and restart your computer. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver and hopefully it will work correctly for you then.
