Geoff,
Have you tried going into "Device Manager" and see if it is showing as operational there.

Q1: Has the camera ever worked before?

Possible fix: You might need drivers/new drivers for it.

I'm presuming you're using a PC, not a Mac. If so - right-click My Computer or Computer and then left-click Manage from the list of options. On the Computer Management window that pops up, click Device Managers. Your camera should be listed. Is it?

Andy, awaiting the next instalment!

On HP laptop, the inbuilt webcam appears under the list of drives
ie. C:\Locas drive
    D:\DVD
    E:\Webcam

Thanks to everyone who answered my question, I am going to have to reinstall the hardware to get the webcam to work again.
