Default Vaio CR series webcam sometimes doesn't work, 'currently in use'

Hi,

Sometimes the webcam on my VAIO CR series randomly doesn't work. In MSN and the VAIO camera capture utility, neither works. A dialog pops up and says that the camera is already in use, but there are no other programs running that would use it and no processes I can see that would. Every time it happens I have to reboot, and occasionally it still doesn't work and a second reboot is required. It only does it sometimes though :/

Any ideas? :S

Thats odd because I have a cheapy unbranded camera that will work in multiple instances of MSN and capture images/other programs simultaneously.. but my only thought would be (I like to check simple things before getting technical xD) if it has a capture button? If that was sticky or something on it...

Just a thought!
