The green light being switched on usually indicates that the isight is active... Try check whether any other applications besides photobooth is using the isight... Quite iMovie & iChat if they're running... Check also whether any other applications (if you've installed them) might be accessing the isight, e.g. the mirror widget, iAlertU, etc....

If the problem still persists... U might wanna reset your SMC.... instructions are available at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319

My iSight has gone bonkers once when I installed the iSight drivers in my parallels WinXP... It was still there in the hardware list but OS X sort of couldn't identify/use it.... After I reset the SMC everything was good...

Hope this helps... Good luck!
