Subject:Webcam not detected

Question:

Hello ! I'm using a SONY VAIO model serial VPCEF3E1E equipped with a MOTION EYE webcam under WINDOWS 7. Since now a few days, the webcam does not work any longer. When using SKYPE the application gives a msg saying that the webcam cannot be detected. I went to your site, downloaded and installed Arcsoft Webcam Companion latest version but still the webcam remains undetected. 2 days ago I've tried to install an ancient CREATIVE LIVE!ULTRA webcam but unsuccessfully. Would you be kind enough to help me in order to fix and make this webcam operational ? Many thanks beforehand.
