Answer 1

Hi,
Does it become active if you go to System Preferences > Accounts and Click on the current Account Pic and attempt to take a Pic ? (you do not have to Set it as the Pic)
Go to System Preferences > Accounts
Click on Your Account (in the list on the Left)
The Right hand side will now show some options.
Clicking the current Pic will give you access to Edit Pic
One of the Options then is to take a Snapshot.
Take a Snap Shot but you do not have to "Set" the Pic.
This process will invoke VDCAssistant.
Explain further about the PRAM Reset please.
You should shut down the computer (Rather than trying to catch the Restart)
You should then Start the Computer holding down the AppleALT+PR keys and keep holding them until you hear three Start Up0 Bongs (Chimes)
This deletes some settings such as System Preferences Settings for the Volume (Sound) and Date and Time that may need resetting afterwards. (Others may also be effected such as Screen Saver)
On Spotlight.
This does not look or report on certain Folders.
At the Hard Drive Level this is Library and Syatem
In your Home Folder (Little House icon) it will not look in your Library.
com.ecam.iusbcam.plist and com.apple.ichat.plist
Are in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
The Others are in the /Library at Hard Drive Level
