If it's reported as potentially in use, I would reboot the computer, not start any other application and then try to use the web cam in Acrobat. It may not actually be "in use", but another application may have a lock on it.
Does that work? If not, I am afraid that there may not be anything else you can do (besides trying a different - external - camera).
