External Cam behaving very strangely

I ran into an issue with the external cam once where I'd been doing a lot of scanning around of the activity on the surface and holding down the keys to make it keep moving all over. It got "stuck" in spin mode, lol, and even when I released the keys it just kept going 'round and 'round and no amount of tapping other keys would make it stop.

Someone suggested dropping the game to the taskbar, which I can do with Alt+Tab or by hitting the Windows button (next to Ctrl) that brings up the Start menu. Doing that then bringing the game back up again cured whatever was ailing the camera.

Don't know if it will work for your situation, and not everybody can get the game to minimize like that. But if all else fails it's worth a try.
