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
osx - An SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup Language SYNOPSIS
osx [-Cehilprvx] [-bencoding] [-ccatalog_file] [-Ddirectory] [-ffile] [-wwarning_type] [-xxml_output_option...] [sysid...] DESCRIPTION
osx converts SGML to XML. osx parses and validates the SGML document contained in sysid and writes an equivalent XML document to the stan- dard output. osx will warn about SGML constructs which have no XML equivalent. OPTIONS
The following options are available: -bencoding Use encoding for output. By default osx uses UTF-8. -cfile Use the catalog entry file file. -C This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -Ddirectory Search directory for files specified in system identifiers. This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -e Describe open entities in error messages. -ffile Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells that do not support redirection of stderr. -iname This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -v Print the version number. -wtype Control warnings and errors according to type. This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1). -xxml_output_option Control the XML output according to the value of xml_output_option as follows: no-nl-in-tag Don't use newlines inside start-tags. Usually osx uses newlines inside start-tags so as to reduce the probability of excessively long lines. id Output attribute declarations for ID attributes. notation Output declarations for notations. ndata Output declarations for external data entities. XML requires these to be NDATA. osx will warn about CDATA and SDATA external data entities and output them as NDATA entities. cdata Use XML CDATA sections for CDATA marked sections and for elements with a declared content of CDATA. comment Output comment declarations. Comment declarations in the DTD will not be output. lower Prefer lower case. Names that were subjected to upper-case substitution by SGML will be folded to lower case. This does not include reserved names; XML requires these to be in upper-case. pi-escape Escape &<> in the contents of processing instructions using the amp, lt and gt entities. This allows processing instruc- tions to contain the string >?, but requires that applications handle the escapes. empty Use the <e/> syntax for element types e declared as EMPTY. attlis Output an ATTLIST declaration for every element specifying the type of all attributes. The default will always be #IMPLIED. Multiple -x options are allowed. SEE ALSO
