How to use the webcam on my Compaq Presario?

I got my new notebook few weeks ago..It’s a compaq presatio f731au. It has a built in webcam. But, I just cant figure out how to use the webcam. there’s this one program called cyberlink youcam. I assume it’s a program that I need to use if I want to use my webcam. but, everytime I tried to use it, it’ll say that there’s something wrong with the settings or cant connect to the webcam. What does it mean? Cant connect to the webcam? It’s a built-in webcam for god’s sake..:( Btw, when I try to click on the settings of the cyberlink youcam program, I cant click it…
