I was having the same problem. I actually de-installed the driver for the LifeCam HD-5000 and then attempted to reload them from the MS LifeCam website. I could not get them to load. I have been unable to get the software for the LifeCam App to load. Macromedia flash 8.0 free download.
The Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 is the desktop version of the LifeCam HD-6000 laptop Webcam, with minor differences that account for the lower price tag. Share each moment as it happens, in 720p High Definition, with the stylish, feature-packed webcam, LifeCam HD 3000. It fits any desktop or notebook and is surprisingly affordable.

I did find that by plugging the cam USB connection into the PC the drivers were automatically loaded. As to the cam not working and getting error messages on websites (ie - it is being used by another program):

1. Got the cam to work on Yahoo. Just unplugged it and then plugged it in again. Seems people are finding that it works with Skype as well, but not in the browser.
2. Could not get the cam to work using the new Microsoft Edge Browser. Kept getting the message about it being used in another browser, so I tried using Google Chrome. Cam worked fine. The problem exists in the new Edge Browser. IF you want to use your cam on different online websites, try loading Chrome if you do not have it and use that for use with cam.
Hopefully MS will put new drivers and software out there for their webcams that will work with the new browser.
