The web-cam is not working. I only get "web-cam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer". I have dine this many times without success.

Re-install the driver for the webcam.
Follow these steps to re-install the driver for the webcam. You will need to be logged in as an Administrator or have an Administrator password ready. 1. Click the Windows Start button. 2. Click Control Panel, System and Maintenance and then Device Manager. 3. Right-click on Chicony USB 2.0 Camera and select Update Driver Software. A yellow exclamation point indicates that the camera is recognized by Windows but is not working properly, probably because of problem with the device driver 4. Select Browse my computer for the driver software. 5. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. 6. Select USB Video Device from the list, and click Next. 7. If the message “Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device” appears, click Close. 8. Restart Windows. The webcam should now work properly.
