Webcam wont connect! help!

I have a HP mini 110 netbook. I've had it for a little over a year and recently my webcam won't connect to anything. I try using the Webcam Companion 3 that comes with the computer and it says " make sure the webcame is connected " .. I really have no way of UNconnecting it seeing as it is built into the laptop itself. Skype also can't find the webcam. I'm stumped on what to do. I've tried reinstalling Webcam Companion 3 and that still didn't work. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar problem. I have the Webcam HD-4110 and I am having alot of difficulty getting the webcam to work on any social chat feature (Google Mail, AOL Instant Messanger, etc.). The error that it is giving me on all applications is that the camera cannot be found. The camera is either being used by another application or is not connected. I have continued to play around with which USB port that it is plugged into and then it will work intermittently (work for one program and fail the next time around). I am extremely frustrated with this product and am looking for some solutions.
