Skype error: "Can't start video renderer. Check for valid DirectX installation."

Skype no longer provides picture of my contact and gives the above error message.

Do you have a HP webcam? If so, see this article:

  • Can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam

    I am using skype on win8. It was perfectly fine until last week. This message "can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam" is always there. I investigated this problem in the forum.  I did this but it did not help at all. I checked nothing was using webcam! Try to reset skype settings Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit Skype" Click Start >> Run Type: %appdata% Rename folder "Skype" to "Old_Skype" Re-run Skype 
    I tried some other chatting software and it gives me the same problem. However, the metro app camara is working perfectly fine. I have the latest driver and I also tried another webcam from logitech and it gives the same problem!!!! 

    Most likely this is one of the registry keys that need to be modified. However, be very careful when you make any changes to your Registry Database. Make always a copy of this data base before making any changes, so you can always revert to the original settings if something will go wrong. The relevant keys are these that refer to Imaging devices. On my system I have 3 such devices: Logitech c920 webcam, LifeCam VX-5000 webcam and CanoScan LiDE 25 Scanner. The last is installed but not currently connected to the computer. You can make a search in your registry database using this item: imaging devices. For all the items I could find on my system, the main key of the type, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00X\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} was looking like this:   There is neither LowerFilters nor UpperFilters value defined. You can open the subkeys of the type 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. and see what device they are referring to.

  • Encountered SQL Developer Error 'Can't Start because MSVCR71.dll is missing

    Hello,
    Thanks for looking at this entry
    I have an older version of SQL developer and it suddenly won't run with the following error
    'Can't Start because MSVCR71.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program.........'
    And it is indeed missing. So, rather than download what might be a virus from the internet (new version of MSVCR71.dll ), I tried to do a new install of SQL developer from:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    I put it on my D drive, unzipped and tried to launch.
    It asked where I had java.exe (full path name). I found it at C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    Now I encounter: Cannot find J2SE SDK installed at path C:\Windows\System32\java.exe
    Please help
    Regards
    Bill

    Hi,
    The 32-bit and 64-bit Java 7 JDKs include only msvcr100.dll, 32-bit Java 6 includes only msvcr71.dll, and 64-bit Java 6 has neither!
    Also, keep in mind that Java 7 is not certified yet for ANY* version of SQL Developer. The standard recommendation is to install the latest update in the Java 6 JDK code line (currently 1.6.0_45) and use that. Make sure to get the 32-bit version!
    Regards,
    Gary

    Corrected which Java downloads actually contain the msvcr71 and msvcr100 DLL versions. Sorry for messing it up the first time!

  • IChat Error: "Can't get video from the camera"

    When I try to Screen Share with iChat on a local network, I receive the error "Can't get video from the camera" when I have an external camera plugged into the FW400 port on my Mac Mini. The Screen Sharing feature works great when the camera is not connected. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

    Tell us about the Network you created please.
    What make and model modem ?
    Can it route (issue IPs) ?
    IS there a router ?
    Make and model of that please ?
    If there are two devices which is doing DHCP if any are ?
    IS there any computer that is sharing it's Internet Connection with any other computer ?
    I take it from the title and the post that you infer you can Video and Audio chat ?
    The Cannot get Video from Camera normally gets and Error Log pop up.
    This can be opened with the reveal triangle on the left. The Details shown will have a Error number. Do you know what this log says ? (normally Error 20 or 21)
    Old logs are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors by date.
    IF you post an Error Log stop at the line that Says "Binary Images for iChat" as we don't need the bits below that yet.
    As the Screen share in iChat uses an Audio component then the Camera if it is also the Mic needs to be ON.
    In your case this may mean that in the ichat Video Menu both Camera Enabled and Mic Enabled should both be ticked.
    (I have never seen an iChat error code for not (specifically) being able to get the Mic input so the message might be the only one iChat can pop up)
    It does seem very odd that it only effecting Screen Sharing.
    I have a Firewire connected DV converter that has two Firewire ports itself so I can input the camera feed to two computers. When this is in place the System also sees it as a Network.
    I have also heard of one person with a Firewire Stills camera and I think the Storage space was seen as an External Device and therefore appeared Networked which is why I asked the first set of questions.
    iChat does not like being in Two networks (a modem that issues IP address and a router doing the same or Wireless to a neighbour and Ethernet to your Own Internet connection, the Mac being the hub in a Share Internet connection, Wireless and Ethernet to the same router and using Parallels when set to Share the Mac's IP are the most common)
    The Screen Sharing option in iChat > Video Menu is ON ? (at both ends ?)
    As iChat's Screen Sharing is related to the System Screen Sharing and therefore Apple Remote Desktop you may find that in any routing device you may have to open ports 5900 and 5988 if not using UPnP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629?viewlocale=en_US
    You said Local Network. Do you mean this is using the Bonjour Buddy List ?

  • Nternal ERROR: Can not find the ACL containter for object ...

    We are using OWB 10.2.0.3. We tried to introduce two basic roles to prevent user A from accessing certain parts of our project. Somehow (I cannot really say how) we ended up in the error message below whenever we want to modify the security properties of an object.

    Hi Maren
    Like you I get this error and do not know what steps caused it.In my scenario I have some mappings that give the error and some that do not - the repository user gets the error but the repository owner does not.
    Thinking back over the last number of months (as this project contains 7-8 months od work - we do have exports of the project) I think the ones giving the error are those that perhaps were copied from another to start the coding but I cannot be sure.
    I have read the metalink note mentioned above as well as the the queries posted by Oleg and yourself. The queries posted are slightly different, one has a where clause
    fco.classname = 'CMPACLContainer' (Maren's)
    and the other
    fco.classname='CMPMap' (Oleg's).
    Was this intentional Maren on your behalf for your problem to be fixed?
    We are using 10.2.0.3.33 OWB client and 10.2.0.3.0 OWB repository.
    Thanks
    Edwin

  • Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Try to force quit the mail app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

    puchased music in itunes. but no file can be found. Have checked for available downloads but nothing available. Went to purchase again thinking i would not be charged again, but it warns me that i will actually be buying again and may have duplicates in library after purchase. Normaly after i purchase from itunes, it is a free download any time after, and on my other devices.
    Why can't itunes locate these files?

    It has always been very basic to maintain a backup of the important files and data on your computer.
    Use that backup to put everything back.
