Oh dear. I'm having exactly the same problem. I have a HP Pavilion laptop with a built-in webcam and often it says it cannot locate the webcam and it says 'Try plugging it in again'. Well I can hardly do that since it's built in to the machine. There is something I try and it often works.
If you tell us what computer model you have then it may help happy
