hi, i need some help with my cd macbook isight. it was working fine until a couple days ago, i think after i archived and re-installed osx to fix a rosetta problem, the isight has stopped working. when i click on photo booth or try to use ichat, it comes up with the dialog window saying that isight is being used by another application, even when i rebooted and have no other programs running. when i check the system profiler, it still shows up, but just doesn't seem to work. any help would be appreciated, thanks.
