-   I have the same damn problem. I called Philips and they told me to go to their website support.philips.com, go to contact and support, go to driver windows, click save file, go and open file and download, reboot system later. Then I guess you need to unplug your camera and plug it back in and it should work. However, after being on hold for over 30 minutes customer service told me that their website is down right now. Go figure. Here is hoping it works once their site is up.-   Susieenvy

Guys I got one (SPC110NC ) today and it behaved as follows

1. Plug and play .. so windows XP (SP2) recognised it instantly.
2. Images were recorded from the general webcam application (defaalu XP one ).
3. Skype however gave the error that was somewhat like " Skype cannot access ur webcam etc ..."

Apparently for Skype 3 and higher u need a special driver .. which u can get at

http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?scy=US&slg=AEN&cat=PC_CAMERAS_CA&sct=WEBCAMS_SU&session=20080804034458_66.249.71.24&grp=PC_PRODUCTS_GR&ctn=SPC110NC/27&mid=Link_Software&hlt=Link_Software

The user manual doesnot specify the exact url of the drivers , though it specifies the need of installing them.

Get the driver , install it and skype hopefully will work fine. it worked for me after this 30 min exercise ...

Folks, go to https://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?scy=US&slg=AEN&cat=PC_CAMERAS_CA&sct=WEBCAMS_SU&session=20080816151613_66.56.63.175&grp=PC_PRODUCTS_GR&ctn=SPC110NC/27&mid=Link_Software&hlt=Link_Software
and download and install the driver software. Though the driver file exe says it is for Skype, it works for all. After restarting my system, it started working fine with my yahoo messenger
