    You can try re-installing the drivers and software for webcam.
    Or simply do a system restore to a time it was working.

    download the cam drivers from internet by using the webcam brand name and model no and re-install the drivers with the webcam software.

    Have you installed the web cam software/drivers properly/successfully? Is your web can suddenly not working? If yes, then i would recommend you to restore your operating system to the previous restore points through control panel>help. If the problem is prompting from the first, then try removing the drivers and re-install them again.

    Sometimes its happened, that particular operating system does not supported particular hardware and applications directly. Please provide full information about your web cam brand and your operating system. Then you can get proper solution regarding this issue.

    Un-install then Re-install all the drivers.

    Additionally read the manual.
