D.Arbib Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) XPpro/SP3/IE8 I wonder if anybody has had this problem with Skype 4.0. Installed it and initially it found my logitech webcam but on re-booting announced that it could not find any webcam. Did an over the program re-installation and video was then found again but not after a re-bootThis has ocuured on two computers. Eventually, in despair, I uninstalled 4.0 and cleaned what I could in registry and elsewhrer then installed 3.83.8 does not suffer from this problem and video remains always available. I have posted this information to Skype but had no reply (yet, after 2 weeks) Edited May 23, 2009 by D.Arbib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 What type of webcam? Integrated or USB? Does the Webcam appear in Device Manager when Skype cannot find it?Registry Cleaning is a dangerous hobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Arbib Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Using Logitech 5000. I have now uninstalled 4.0, cleaned out registry and installed 3.8 and have no further problem of Skype announcing that it could not find a webcam.One curiosoty is that if I install Skype 4.0 over the top of an installation it will then find the webcam, but again after a re-boot no webcam can be found. All very peculiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
