When I try to engage my webcam for Yahoo IM, a message comes up that the camera is locked by another application. I've checked spybot residence to see if that was the issue.

I recvd an IM/webcam invitation, accepted it. All was working fine for a brief second, then the error message displayed.
I don't know if it is a Toshiba/Yahoo/Vista issue.

I've updated Yahoo to 9.0 for vista. I did have a quantified error report which I repaired with an online source.

when I check to see if yahoo recognizes my camera it does not, however it worked for a moment tonight.

How do I find what program has it locked?

thanks kel
