I bought a new Toshiba P845-S4200 laptop and my webcam wont work. I find the application but when i click on it a notice comes up saying webcam initialization failed and to recheck or turn off computer. I also got the companion trial but it says it cant find webcam.

What can i do to fix this?

there might be a software problem.. try installing the drivers and software components such as dotnet frameworks..

Check and install all the software that came bundled, usually this would be a DVD that comes along with the machine.
