Thanks for the responses. I decided just to go with Webcamoid. I have had to many problems with Cheese over a very short amount of time. I now have two alternatives with webcamoid and guvcview. I think that I should be able to keep my camera working. On my main computer it is a "chicony usb 2.0 camera". I have not checked yet what it is on my old backup laptop.
Solved.
