Its a Dell PC, not a laptop.
 
Whatever you are plugging into doesn't have enough power to run both of them at the same time. This is quite common with laptops and devices that rely on the USB port for power.

You can try using different USB ports. The laptop may have other ports that don't share power with the wireless card.

Worst case, you can get a powered hub and plug the webcam into that. This will require some external source of power for the webcam.
