HI - I've just installed the latest v of Skype. Problem I have is that it freezes when I use the video cam option. Then when I shut it down a skype.exe process remains running and I cannot reopen Skype appln because it tells me a version is already running and to log out. The only way to kill the process is to restart, Help please.

Hi anxious111!

Update your web cam drivers and Screen adapter driver.

Hello,

I am having the exact same problem, and I made sure that my Webcam Driver is up to date. I am running a Sony Vaio 2.0 Dual Core, 3GB RAM. My skype used to work perfectly before I formatted my computer. I made sure that all my drivers are up to date. Everything works fine, except when I try to start my video, skype freezes. My webcam works just fine if I use it in Webcam Companion, I can take pictures, record video, and everything. I noticed that not only Skype crushes when I use this webcam, but also other video chat programs. Please help me since I am out of ideas. I am using the latest version of Skype, and so its the person I am trying to video chat with. Thank you!!

I am also having freezing problems. I can connect with audio and video without problems but after a while the computer freezes and I can do nothing except use the power off button. It can take anything from about 3 minutes to 15 minutes before it freezes.

I have checked Windows Vista updates, driver updates, re downloaded and installed Skype, all to no avail.

Any help appreciated,

Richard
