-   I also have a ZoomCam 1595 with WinXP and no video on Skype !
I have confirmed though that the camera works, using Vidtest.exe from Smith Micro Software.
Other cams (ie Mustek) work fine and video is 2way.
This seems like a driver problem someone has to fix.

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I no longer have a problem. I changed several things:

1. Uninstalled Logitec Webcam program and re-installed it with the Installation CD.
2. Updated Explorer,
3, Plugged the USB directly to the back of the tower (instead of the front).

I was still transmitting a "grainy" picture of myself and did change the lighting setup WHEN I need a better picture, for instance talking to my relatives overseas, and since I have a very bright window to my right, I would face the window to get that light facing me AND I would reposition the monitor and webcam to face me in that new setup. Vast improvement.

Hope this helps someone. And thanks for all of your suggestions.

I believe this is a problem not only with skype but also yahoo messenger. The usb ports seem to go funny. i think it is a virus passed when you viewed a persons webcam. this is the error p1110vfw.dll i get and it crashes both messenger and skype when i turn on webcam.

are you using a router in your computer configuraton, if so check the ports that are open for transmission of cam video signal. Also slow internet connection would have a major effect on the ability to use video, more so on some services then on others, but all would be affected to some degree. But first of all, verify that you can see yourself or other scenes in your cam, before assuming that Skype is the only problem

how do i get full screen on my webcam

I have a TRUST Spacecom 100 camera. It working OK with MSN messenger and yahoo messenger, I don't have the same fortune with SKYPE, can something help me???

Comment by Regginald, posted on Mar 01, 2008

My problem is the reverse: The other Skype person sees me perfectly, but I only see a still image of that person. Oddly enough, when I take a snapshot of the screen, I get a picture of what he was doing (he had said, OK, now I am holding the baby, can you see me?) I could not see him moving around, but was able to snap a picture of him and the baby.

I had uninstalled Quickcam (Logitec) and reinstalled it with the CD. Before I installed the videocam, I was receiving his video with no problem.

Skype's options have the box checked for Skype video enabled. Next I will try to check the options with the camcorder turned off (read this somewhere in your troubleshooting windows)

Wish me luck?
