I installed the driver updates from skype. but when i run it, and my pc keeps getting started. and when i unplugged the webcam...my pc run properly.

You will probably have to delete the driver from the driver property page. Then reboot the computer. Then make sure there's no driver listed. Then select up the driver. Select that you have the driver. Find a driver. Install.

This generally happens if your webcam drivers are not properly installed. Install matching updated drivers for webcam. This issue can easily be resolved by http://sureconsulting.in/

> Clean your system and registry using some reliable cleaner such as Reginout Cleaner.

> Scan and clean your system using some powerful antivirus program.

Thanks

You should install the drivers before you try to operate the webcam, unless the instructions state otherwise. If the drivers are not installed, unplug the webcam and install the drivers, and plug the web cam back in when promoted. If you have the drivers installed already, or can confirm the web cam works, open up skype and navigate to tools then options. Once in the options menu go to the video settings tab. In the "select webcam" drop down menu select the webcam of your choice.

It's also possible you are using an older version of skype that my not support new protocols for video, OR it's possible you are using a new version of skype which doesn't automatically start video. If you are using an older version of skype (current version is 5.1) update to the later version. If you have the latest version, you may need to manually start video chat. When you start a call, look towards the lower area of the screen for a button that says "My video" and click on it. This should start the video chat.

Hope this was of some use!

Sounds like a possible driver issue.
Go to Sony's support site and download the latest drivers for your Camera, namely the WebCam Companion software to ensure you have the proper drivers for your integrated webcam.

A restart is usually needed after the installation.
Test the software to ensure you actually get proper video from the webcam after driver installation.
Test it out on Skype if all goes well.

Hello,
Please get the driver here : www.multi-cam.net/camera_downloads.html

Sounds like the software is looking at a video card

working OK ?

CONFIGURE TO SKYPE
Connect webcam
Its good practice to disconnect and re-connect your webcam before you start (To reboot the webcam software) - if you have been using it elsewhere the SKYPE software may have difficulty in locating it, even if you exited the previous program correctly.
The reason being, the webcam software can remain hooked-up to a program and needs to be rebooted.
Mine, I just unplug it from the USB and plug it back in to reboot the software.
If yours is integral with the computer you will have to re-start the computer, use a keyboard shortcut or disable / enable the webcam from the Device Manager.

Start Skype.
On the 'Tools' menu, click 'Options'.
In the navigation pane of the Skype 'Options' window, click 'Audio Settings'
Run down the list setting your defaults
Select your webcam as the default microphone.
Make a free test call
Click 'Save'
In the navigation pane of the Skype Options window, click Video Settings.
This will launch your webcam
Adjust quality of picture in 'Settings'
Check the correct webcam is shown as default
Click Save
Test your webcam by making a Skype test call.

HI,

If you have already installed the webcam drivers/softwares from the disc provided to you then you need not install any drivers.

You can try funisntalling the skype software first and then reinstalling it again.This should fix the issue.

Let me know the result.

Thank You for using fixya.

Normal 0 Also send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

Skype Setup:
After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/) set it up as follows:

1. Go to Tools, then Options, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
2. Then click on the Video Settings.
3. The camera if Installed Properly will come up and show a video picture.
4. Then, on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to see and her to you.
Hope this helps. Bud

I had the same problem, I bought it from a store with no CD! After plug the USB i have only sound with no Video.

After googling around i finally found the solution: You can try below.

1, Unplug your USB connector
2, Download the right driver from the real manufacture : http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/drivers/IC_drivers/PCCAM_WHQL_Standard_Installshield_120308.zip
3, Unzip and install the driver.
4, After finished installation, replug the USB connector (You should plug to the different port that you used to plug before)
5, Now window XP finds the right driver and installs for you.
6, Restart your PC, then use Skype to test. It works :)

Hope this help you guys
Good luck
