You can try this, it might be the problem. The microphone is by default, muted. The Skype program "should" un-mute it, but sometimes the notebooks mic is not fully compliant. So, to manually un-mute the microphone, go into the volume control panel by double clicking the speaker icon in the system tray. If the microphone section is not displayed toward the right, you'll have to activate it in the Options|Properties menu item. Put a check mark in the box beside microphone. Remove the check mark in the mute box under microphone.

I want to set up skype to skype my daughter.

For this you need to create two Skype ID first one for you and one for your daughter.

To register your ID on Skype go to www.skype.com

Then install skype on both the computers (on yours and on your daughter's)

Add yourself in her account and add her ID in your account.

now you can chat/talk to her using skype.

To talk on skype you will require a Headphone with mic. she will also require it.

if you want Make video call, both of you will require webcam also.

We have an hp with a built in webcam. i can see and hear the other person but they cannot see me. they can hear me. my camera won't turn on. we are using skype.

Try to use Skype that is the 'latest' version downloaded off of the Internet. This may be the problem.with no video with an otherwise good camera.

Also, check the the drivers for the camera to make sure it has no errors.
