Try to turn on webcam,it comes on momentarily and then i get an on- screen message saying the cam is used in another application, and to shut down other applicaton and retry,

it is quite possible that the webcam is being used by other application like msn messgenger or yahoo messenger .. try closing them and then use skype. also try unplugging the cam...restart the system and then plug the cam once again.

unplug the camera and plug it back it, close out of the application and restart it.

Make sure that another webcam application isn't running such as Crystal Eye or whatever program you use to take pictures with the webcam.

Both skype and yahoo have set-upprograms you need to set-up cam before use.richardm69...they are in the tab drop down.inskype use free call set-up

Have you tried shutting down, turning off and restarting the PC yet? If not give it a try, MSN could have crashed but Windows still things it running. When you try to start MSN again you get your error message. If you've already tried that or if it doesn't work did you receive any error messages or make any significant change prior?

I can use the webcam on Skype but when I close Skype and open Instant Messenger I get a message that the webcam is unplugged or being used by another application.
