Emachines webcam stopped working?

Hi there,

 

I've had my Emachines E525 for a few years now, and the webcam has worked fine in the past. I tried to use it today, and Skype shows it as being disabled. However it shows up in the Device Manager (windows 7), and I have updated to that latest Suyin camera driver, so it should be there. But when I open its own program, 'Video Web Camera', it makes a USB disconnect sound and then shuts the program down.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks,

Amy

    It sounds very much like there is an issue with the camera hardware.
