so thinking it was the program I downloaded another program and...same problem

I'm interpretting this as: you installed some software since the web cam was working, and now the web cam isn't working... and you tried to uninstall the software and it didn't fix the problem...Is this accurate?   



Also, Sony VAIO   model ?

The more info. the better..
