Toshiba Satellite A500-17x webcam

Hey guys.
Wonder can anyone help me. Had this laptop for about two months now. Have never been able to use the webcam... Device list on the computer doesnt even show it being there. Software that meant to be installed isn't and installing the drivers from the Toshiba website does nothing as far as I can see.
As you can imagine this is quite frustrating.. the integrated webcam is a really good one.. and obviosuly it would have effected the price so yeah... anyone who can give me any advice it would be greatly appreciated

And btw a DIY solution would be preferrable.. sending CPUs and Laptops away has resulted in memory wipes for me 9 times out of 10

This error is due to your webcam driver is not installed in your laptop. So i suggest you just installed the drivers through utilities software that was come from your laptop. If again the problem create then change your Laptop setting to "factory setting". You can also do one thing just type msconfig on run command and check whether the software is enabled on automatic start or not, If it is not enable just enable that and restart your system.
