Green light next to camera

I have a 2008 white macbook. When I go to use any camera applications (face time, photo booth, iDVD, etc..) they all say there is no camera detected. However the green light that indicates the camera is operating is on. I've tried restarting, shutting down, resetting stuff. Nothing seems to work. Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat




1. Click on Macintosh HD on the top right of your desktop (or whatever else you’ve called your Harddrive) 2. Click through System > Library > LaunchDaemons 3. Now look for the file com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant.plist - and send it to trash. http://www.appleware.co.uk/2008/12/03/isight-camera-fix.html
