Web Cam Doesnt Work On Skype Anymore

[koiwaolao]

From one day to the other, skype doesn't load my picture anymore when activating video. I checked Skype troubleshoot and was advised to download a new webcam driver? Alternativley I should check USB connection but my web cam is built into my laptop. I checked my computer settings and it shows webcam ok.

Any advise before I go though uninstalling and downloading a driver?

Try disabling and then re-enabling the webcam, could be enough.

Try a system restore to a time when it worked.

Otherwise un-install (with delete driver checked) and re-download the driver.

Wow, thanks a mill Crossy! Just tried your first sugg and it worked. I did have a few problems with windows 7 and Internet explorer lately, maybe it has to do with that?

Webcam might be in use by other application such as webcam config or something.
