Hello,

I recently opened photobooth having only used it maybe a week or two ago, only to find the camera light on my MacBook lights up but the photobooth window remains black as seen here >> http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2571/screencaptureyk2.jpg .


I've tried deleting the photobooth plist, reset permissions and all that stuff. I then updated to the most recent version of 10.5 and still no joy.

I know the camera isn't broken because if I open quicktime and set the built in isight i see myself there okay. Same with youtube quick capture etc, it's all fine. So the problem is defiantly photobooth, which is quite annoying.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Chris.

p.s. I did a forum search but couldn't find any remedies that worked so forgive me if this is a "known" issue or something.
