I have a built in web cam and whenever i get on AIM or other online messaging networks to video chat, it says my camera is in use with another program and will not work. The problem is there is no other program running. Any suggestions? I have a built-in webcam, which does not work. When I try to use it it says "Locked by another application". Restarting does not work as well. What should I do?

Your camera is automatically enabled at windows startup and get reserved by windows driver itself. That is the reason you can't use your webcam. Try to disable this program from running the startup with windows. You may do this from: Start > All programs > Startup right click the particular program that captures camera, and disable it (delete this). This should solve your problem. Otherwise please let us know.

Ok, first let's approach this from a rational way of thinking, I have to count on your answers to steer us in the right direction, so first what other program that you installed during the time that the cam ceased to function?, if you can come up with that answer we are home free. If not there is only one thing to do. How many IM's are yoou running at once, just because they aren't on the screen doesn't mean that they aren't running. From the way you wrote this you have more than one, since we are not in chat, I must assume you have at least 2 that use the cam right. You have to go into each one where they say either tools, or properties, and change the setting so that the program does not run at all nor control the camera automaticlly. If you arent sure what you are doing, get a friend wh's a geek, to show you. The only other alternative is to start removing 1 IM and see if it works, if you have more than 2, you are always going to have one of them try to hog the camera, unless yu set it not to do that. As long as you know your log on , I would take one out and see if that does the trick. Guaranteed that's what's happening, an app is not allowing the other apps to use it.
Web camera chatting is made possible with compatible computers, network structures, also mentionable are camera device peripherals. The computer compatibilities allows to camera install programs that makes chatting on networks achievable. For example, acquire computer that are web camera comparable also of recent innovations have built-in features least requiring user manipulations to attain experiences. Once acquired a new computer of recent age, a built in camera performs as capture device for programs and network requirements. Recent wireless networks override the request to install cable structure that makes telecommunications possible. Installing a wireless connection to share signal makes convenient the media sharing capacities especially on computers with built-in cameras. At which point the computer networking and resources requirements have been accomplished. Similar structures elsewhere on the network makes possible web camera conferencing achievements. Usually the computer requirements have been satisfied. The remaining processes are achieved as customization requests. For example, the networked computer teleconferences with common programs on each computer devices. Usually informing the chat entities to acquire similar programs overrides the compatibility miscommunications. For example, requesting for chat conferencing to be achieved on yahoo messenger or msn massager, daybook chat or YouTube chat messaging where each entity acquires the details in computer structures overrides the compatibility malfunctions. In which instance, chat communication should least expect malfunctions. Chat conferencing becomes cost incurred when each member entity places charges on the process to arrive at message telecommunications. Also, in the situation where an entity lacks computer resource structures that has cost incurred compromises the free nature of telecommunication.
