I can use my camera on different IM's but it doesn't work on skype. When I go test my web cam on skype all I see is a red screen where I'm supose to be, I see shadows of me moving too,but when I make a video call other person can see only black screen. I tried every single step fixing it!! I'm going crazy!

If you took the step of reading this I think you'd be on your way
