iSight camera not recognised with photo booth or ichat

I was just wishing to do ichat on my macbook air but the camera was not connected. I opened photo booth and it has a no camera icon displayed. When I open both applications there is no light on the isight camera. I have had the macbook air for about 2 months but this is the first time I have tried to use the camera. It runs Mac OS X.5.2. I also have VM ware and windows XP installed just in case that has caused a problem.
Can anyone tell me how to turn the built in isight camera on or test whether it is broken or not please? I live in rural England and would rather not have to send my macbook air back to apple if there is a simple trick to getting it to work.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Bellamcq

Try the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight. The reset suggested there often restores proper function.
