My web cam is not working at all especially with skype. I believe its the driver> where do i get the download

Web cameras won't turn on until a program accesses them. Most laptops with a built in web cam come with software to take pictures and video.

Try clicking on the windows icon (start menu) and typing "cam" into the search bar. This should bring up the web camera application to test and make sure it is working. You could also use an application like skype or a website that allows live camera uploads like youtube (account required).

If this doesn't work, make sure there is a driver properly installed and the hardware is working in device manager (control panel > system & security > device manager tab).

Please leave feedback if this was helpful.

Try holding down the CTRL key and then hit W. If the driver is installed this should turn on the camera. If it doesn't turn on you will have to install the driver from the manufacturers CD or download the driver from HP's site.

asus P5OIJ web cam views upside down. the web cam on skype works great, but the person iam communicating with views me upside down. how can i fix this.

Some web cams have a lower resolution than some software likes to play with. Equally, some cameras have too much resolution for the given software.

Having gone through Your model's check list, there shouldn't be any reason that it doesn't work.

Skype reports that you have Service Pack 3 installed for Windows XP as this apparently has updated driver/software to resolve the issue.

If you are running a more resent version of Windows (Vista [yuck] or 7) then this issue should have been addressed and implemented into the operating system long ago.

If you are running Linux, then there is a possibility that you have run into a typical issue with drivers. As most Linux OS' are 'fan based' and written by folks giving back to the system, there is the simple likelihood that a driver hasn't/won't be made for your web cam (at least the driver that would work with Skype).

The simpler move, at the moment, would be to visit Acer's home site, and step through their model discovery process to get to your laptop.

This should get you close. Download the driver for your input devices/usb devices (usually has the web cam included) and load her up. There may be a reboot involved, if there is just follow the directions and hopefully Viola, your camera will be up and running and Skype will atop squawking at you.

Hope this helps...

You've put the wrong driver on it.
Use this to find your camera make & model
just click on it when it's downloaded & it will open, it doesn't install so you can get rid of it after you've used it.
then get this download it/install it to get all your computers drivers for free dont do the scan click on the exporter box instead & select were you want to save them i.e desktop.
the scan will then start when its finished close driver robot & click on the new link you just saved on your desktop then click on the big heading "GET DRIVERS" It will then list all the drivers for your computer & OS You mazewell download & save them all for future refferance.install the camara then the best way to test it is with MSN Messanger or skype. click audio/mic & web cam setup in one of these programs MSN Messanger or skype.
good luck

Try to check if this issue occurs on Skype only or with all programs

If it is for Skype only:
You need to check the Video Settings in Skype.
Start Skype > Options > Video Settings > select the webcam that you are using.
If the webcam is not on the list, download and install the driver from the manufacturer website
Try to set Automatically Receive Video from - select Anyone or Only people in my contact list.

Hi,
It sounds more like you need to updated your flash player software.

Go here and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player restart the browser and try Skype again >>>>>
