hey chartsell,
curious to know, does it work on any instant messaging program such as Y!Messenger, Windows Live Messenger?
If it does then, you will need to check with the Skype support team.
if it does not, then try uninstalling the webcam driver. let windows install its generic driver and try again

  • Re: post on Logitech C270 webcam not working with Skype

    I am a windows 8.1 user and I'm using Skype 7.7 and it has all the updates that it needs as of right now and my Logitech C270 Webcam won't work with my Skype and only shows the loading screen. Can you explain to me why it won't work even if I've reinstalled Skype multiple times and restarted my computer as well? Thank you very much.

    It seems that the latest Skype versions don't work with AMD Radeon R7 200 Series graphic card. Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/ASUS-USB2-0-Webcam-not-recognized-by-Skype-6-18​... Make sure to disable automatic updates:Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

  • New Skype Emoji not appearing on Skype for Windows Phone

    Posted here because I couldn't select "Skype for mobile" in the Windows 10 Edge browser... I've noticed that emoji like (Windows10) do not appear in Skype on Windows Phone.  Instead, I see an empty white box.  I also don't see the text of the emoji. Seems like an issue with Skype for Windows Phone where the app understands that (Windows10) is an emoji, but can't find the image to display.   

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option only).
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Photoshop 32bits does not start up anymore on Windows 7 64bits.

    This is the situation:
    We have 2 PCs that have been configured identically, with the exception of a scanner (canonScan 9950F) attached to the computer and the 32 bits twain scanner driver installed.
    Both PCs worked correctly, the one with the scanner attached started 32 bit PhotoShop when there was need to scan. But for some obscure reason, 32 bits Photoshop does not work anymore. I have tried disabling the twain driver (by moving it out of the plugins directory), restarting the machine, updating to the latest software, but despite this, Photoshop does not start anymore... no beep, no crash, no nothing.
    I deinstalled Photoshop, Reinstalled - same phenomena.

    May be someone out in the user community has a solution? Needless to say, that the second machine works fine!
    Lucien.

    The Photoshop executable really should be showing 12.0.4.0 as the executable version should have been updated by the updater.
    I'm sorry for the really basic question, but did you reboot after installing the 12.0.4 update?
    I do vaguely remember a few forum posts claiming the updater had only worked partially, though in my own case it updated all the files no problem.  Can you recall whether you changed anything under the Photoshop 32 bit installation area (e.g., did you move or remove any of  the Adobe plug-ins, for example)?
    If memory serves, the workaround for a "partial update" was to uninstall Photoshop, then reinstall 12.0.0, then update to 12.0.4.

  • Firefox will not start after updating on Windows XP

    I have just updated to the most recent version of firefox, 8.0.1, and it simply does not start when i click the icon.
    It logs processes in the task manager, but does not actually launch the program.
    The solution already listed on this site is not valid for windows XP, because i have no "application data" folder for firefox under my username.
    How can i fix this?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • How can I get WebAS to not start-up after restarting Windows?

    I would like to not have my WebAS auto start after I reboot windows.
    I found of couple of options in Configuration tool but they did not stop it.
    We have a firewall product that I cannot disable (per security policy), but I can terminate it once I get the desktop.  However by that time WebAS has started and encounters blocks from firewall, and once this happens, half the time it causes my jcontrol.exe to result in NIETIMEOUT messages and once THAT happens I have to uninstall and reinstall EVERYTHING. 
    So, how can I configure WebAS to not automatically start-up after rebooting windows?  I have searched help.sap.com and looked for options in Visual Admin and Configure tools.

    Easier than it seems
    Go to Administrative Tools/ Services in Windows.
    Change Startup type of the services to Manual.
    You can just sort by the 'Log On As' Column
    ".\SAPServiceJ2E"
    or whatever you instance name is. You can always start the service from the MMC console after this.

  • Webcam not detected in Skype on T500 with Windows XP Professional

    I cannot use video calling on Skype because, for some reason, it does not detect my integrated camera (see T500 datasheet at http://www.lenovo.com/pdf/us/en/t400_and_t500_datasheet.pdf).

  • Webcam not starting through YouCam applicatio​n

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook, product number LW217UA#ABA.
    I haven't had any trouble with the webcam in the past, but when I tried to Skype recently my camera wouldnt turn on. Then I went to the YouCam application, and I get an error message stating: "No webcam detected. Try plugging in a webcam into your computer now. if you are using an integrated camera, make sure it is turned on."
    Ive searched for help on this issue through the forums and I was told to check the device manager to see if there is any imaging device listed. There is not. If this is indeed the problem, how do I go about fixing it?
    Thanks.

    Hi Bmh,
    The sad thing about webcams is that they can last forever - then they die.  Or not.  There is no way to tell for sure what is wrong with it EXCEPT that the Device Manager cannot see it.  Unfortunately, the Device Manager is pretty stupid:  it either sees a device (your webcam) or it does not.  There is no in between.  The bit doing the managing is really the YouCam driver.
    There is a rather limited document you can look at that shows what to do in the even that your webcam stops working (or never worked).  Here is the link:
    Connecting and Testing Webcam in Windows 7
    The document may help... and may not if your webcam is really dead or really stuck...
    ==================================================​=========================
    You can try resetting the Notebook.  This is called the "Hard Reset" because it kicks everything, presumably hard enough to reset all the connections - IF the webcam has not developed a loose wire connection (a real possibility and one you've no doubt read about here on the forum), then the Reset may reset the webcam connection with the Device Manager.
    Hard Reset:
    Sometimes all you need to do is kick the computer.  This method works for a variety of connection and ‘stuck’ program issues.
    Disconnect all external devices first.
    Remove AC power and the battery
    Press and hold power button for at least 30 seconds
    Reinstall only AC power for first startup ** See Note
    Power on - Log in
    Next time you shut down the system, reinstall battery.
    ** Note: You can ignore the bit about leaving the battery out.  If you like, reinstall battery the first time and be done with it.
    ==================================================​=========================
    There are lots and lots of HP forum posts on webcams - I've written some of them.  READ, read, read.  Help may be here somewhere.  Don't give up yet. 
    If you try everything, do everything, and nothing works:
    Get it fixed by sending it in for repair (that does work, I've done this.)
    Give up and buy a really nice Logitec Pro 9000 webcam - awesome clip-on webcam, I've done this.
    Buy a new notebook, I've not done this to fix a webcam, but a new notebook is a great thing to have
    Don't kill the messanger.  I don't work for HP.  I've had webcams that work for years.  I've also had webcams that were DOA from the factory on a brand new notebook.  It happens.
    I hope this helps!

  • ASUS USB2.0 Webcam not recognized by Skype 6.18.0.106

    Hello Skype Community members,since I updated Skype to the latest version 6.18.0.106, Skpype says that no camera was found which makes me unable to make video calls. In the previous version my camera worked without any problems. As a workaround I was installing previous Skype version, but since Skype is smart enough to detect being not up-to-date, it kept logging me off. I would appreciate any ideas how to resolve my problem.My computer spec:
    Asus N46VZ
    Intel i7-3610QM
    8GB RAM
    Intel HD4000 & GeForce GT 650M
    ASUS USB2.0 Webcam
