Check for problems with third party applications
Uninstall all other applications that use the Web Camera
except the pre-installed camera application. If uninstalling
the other applications does not fix the problem, reinstall
them. If it does fix the problem, try reinstalling them again to
check if the Web Camera continues to work. If it stops
working again, the problem may be with that specific
third-party application.
System Recovery
The final troubleshooting step is to perform a system
recovery. Recovering the computer to its original, out-of-the-
box state is one way to eliminate software as a possible
cause of the problem. Note that doing a system recovery will
return the computer to its default conditions, completely
wiping all data (personal documents, installed application,
and everything else).

1

and follow the on-screen prompts and warnings.
