Webcam stuck in OSX

Hi
I have a strange problem. I opened a dmg that supposedly contained the drivers for a webcam (Genius Look 316), i dragged the file to apps and ran it. My camera turned on and the program ran fine. Then I closed the program completely and deleted the application and my webcam wont turn off. I have unplugged it and replugged it in even after resetting my mac and it still wont turn off. System profiler says a PC camera is plugged in. No other program can access it. I am assuming some kind of script is being run whenever I plug the camera in. How can I stop this from happening!?!?

Thanks

NAME
Ekiga - SIP and H.323 Voice over IP and Videoconferencing for UN*X SYNOPSIS
ekiga [-d level] [-c URL] DESCRIPTION
Ekiga is a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video Conferencing application which complies to the SIP and H.323 protocols. It can con- nect to a variety of other SIP and H323 applications including specific hardware. Ekiga can work with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio communications or traditional audio+video communications. Ekiga was formerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata. It offers to configure almost every option from within the GUI. Command-line options include -d to turn on debugging during calls. -c to call another URL. OPTIONS
-d level turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1 and 4. -c URL Calls the given URL. Ekiga can be running or not when invoking that option. SIP, H.323 and CALLTO URLs are supported. FILES
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ekiga/ The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The actual place can differ depending on your system's configuration) ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details. ENVIRONMENT
On startup Ekiga reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other GNOME2 app should do) from /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. Every modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor is reflected in real-time by Ekiga. DOCUMENTATION
More documentation is available in the manual available through Ekiga's Help menu. There is also a FAQ at: http://www.ekiga.org GETTING HELP
