That means another program is using the camera, but if you don't see any windows open with it, then a virus might be using it to watch you. If thats not the case you probably have a process using it, check the system tray and close anything that possibly can use a webcam. Then if it still doesn't work then restart the computer and if it still doesn't work reinstall the webcam software and/or the drivers for it.

Webcam wont load up saying We couldn't start your camera device. Please check that your camera is not currently in use by another program, and then try again.

some applications, like photoshop or any other video/picture editing software may connect to your camera as you boot up by default. this can cause problems for other apps that may use your camera like MSN messenger or others. try closing any other programs that may have a connection to your camera then try again.

We couldn't start your camera device. Please check that your camera is not currently in use by another program, and then try again. the camerea is off i dnt understand

I think there is one more start up program which automatically takes the camera use to itself.. for eg. Adobe, or some messengers. Try to delete startup items than it will work.
