Hello!

These days I was using Skype and i noticed that my webcam and my contact's web cam were black(the images). Then I asked my contact if he was seeing me. He sad he was.

At MSN I can see my webcam image. Only at Skype that i can't see my webcam and the contacts' webcam.

My moderboard : Asus p5rd1-vm


Ps: It happend after the support guy installed a VGA board in my pc. (yeah, a vga )

First check you are both on latest versions off SKYPE 3.6 or 3.5.

Then check your web cam drivers are up to date at manufacturers side.

If still no joy, try downloading splitcam to test if that solves it.

gladiator,
i've just updated my skype to 3.6 and my webcam drive.
it didn't work.

what is this splitcam?
where can i download?

You did a Google Search?

my webcam "worked" at Splitcam.
But at Skype it still doesn't work

What can I do?

You have to select Splitcam as you web cam in the video settings on Skype Video did you do this.

it didn't work
When I select my webcam at SplitCam I got this message : "This feature is not supported by the currently selected video source"



PS. I think you didn't understand my situation. Both my webcam and my contacts' (any contact) still black.


Thanks

Have you selected your web cam in Split cam also because I use the same program with no problem at all feeding the video to several locations at the same time.

it still black.
One think I noticed is when i use the snapshot video it takes the snapshot of my cam. Just that works.

If I understand you statement correctly you are saying that your web cam is not compatable with Splitcam is that correct.

No, I'm sayng that my webcam isn't the problem.
Let me say my problem by another way ..

Both webcams, my and my CONTACT 's, are black. I can't see neither my contact's webcam nor mine.

nobody??

Can you see a picture in you preview window when you test you web cam in the options setup.

Have to tried Splitcam to see if the works with your camers.

No, The image get black. But when i take a snapshot i can see the picture snapshoted



Yes, I had. But it didn't work


PS. I'm think now... it just happend after the support guy putted a VGA video board(yes, stupid guy!) in my pc. Is this problem because this?

You have 2 video adapter activated = enabled?
Please disable one.

I have my onboard video (with problems) and this VGA board.

I've made a test. Without the vga board skype works, using the vga board it doesn't work.

PS. I can't use pc without the vga board

Please disable in your bios.
Otherwise this can conflict your external graphic adapter.

I suppose you should make your webcam driver active under the Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win 32) driver.

If you don't know how to do this with your software, you may try
http://www.willingsoftware.com software, using the 'Options > Video Source' hot button above the preview window.
