Skype (Windows 8) metro camera problem

Metro Skype does not pick up my built-in camera, I installed the camera driver and I know it works because Desktop Skype picks it up and I can make video calls. Is this a fault of Skype or a driver problem?

I have a SL510 and I'm under Windows 8 Pro.

Well, I solved the problem. It is clear that the problem was the driver for the built-in camera which is standard with my machine. I uninstalled the driver, started in safe mode and reinstalled the driver but it seems that windows has decided to install a generic driver camera in place and the camera app is working now and I can video call in Skype Metro.

    using Skype... I can see other people, but they cannot see me...

    Hello

    Be sure to contact the Skype Support like this might be a known issue and they might have the solution.
    There is also information and on the Skype Forums.

    Skype - Support
    https://support.Skype.com/en-us/

    Skype - Forums
    http://Forum.Skype.com/

    Also check with the manufacturer of the system, their drivers and documentation support online and ask
    their forums (if any).

    ============

    You will probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera control software.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Skype Windows 8 crash with error LeAPC_INDEX_MISMATCHErreur

    Hi people.

    I recently got a laptop DELL XPS which is installed with Windows 7 in the factory, but which has been upgraded (?) to Windows 8 at the time wherever I got it. I had some problems with Skype, as well as with the DELL Webcam Central software since I have the laptop. I was able to resolve most of them (with the help of excellent advice on forums like this one), but I am the last question and have not yet been able to solve.

    Whenever I try to use Skype from the tile on the start screen, I'm able to get in the app, but if I try to make a video call, or if I try to change the settings (e.g. to select "Integrated Webcam" instead of the default camera"), it crashes my computer. I get a blue screen with an error message: LeAPC_INDEX_MISMATCHErreur.

    Moreover, when I make a video call, the person I call does not appear to receive the call. To me, it seems that it's just rings and rings with no answer, but for them, it seems that I am not called. Finally, the computer crashes and I get the blue screen of death. Or if I try to end the video call, or turn off the webcam in the Skype Windows 8 app, it blocks again the computer.

    I have no problem using the desktop version of Skype - which works very well. Of course, I can continue to use the desktop version, but if possible I'd like to solve this problem. Any advice anyone?

    Thank you!

    Good news! Everything seems to work again. I reinstalled the driver Windows 7 for Dell integrated Webcam, as suggested by Tamim. Initially, it didn't work, but when I rebooted a second time, everything - the webcam, Skype for Windows 8 and office and the Webcam central software worked.

    The bad news is that I will not generate a log file for you at this point (I don't think I'll be able to recreate the original problem with Skype for Windows 8). But if the problem persists, I'll do it and post again.

    Thank you!

    Hi team,

    could you please find my cyberlink you cam problem...

    Use HP Pav.N/B i5-2450 G6 1323 pure product... Windows 7 (64-bit)

    every time go to opening cyberlink cam show you like it under this same question do face from the last 6 months can you please show me the solution...

    cannot use SKYP also myself...

    Can you please find me solution ASAP...

    Hi Asra,

    Sorry, still no magic solution for this - instructions to 'fix' Windows 7 are not so different from those proposed in your first application.

    Possible software patches for webcam in Windows 7 are explained in this document:

    Webcam troubleshooting (Windows 7)

    If you have tried the Hard Reset, if you tried to reinstall your driver, if you tried to check the BIOS... then the webcam can be broken.

    Webcam of tiny and delicate wires break, crush or break away from the camera.  It is not so expensive to fix, but you cannot fix a broken webcam with software.  You will need to send (or take) the computer to have the webcam repair.  It's sad - it happens.

    One of my notebooks had a broken webcam and the laptop was new, too.  HP fixed the son, returned the laptop and everything was good after that.  So, is it broken wires for you?  Unknown;  There are a few software patches to pass and then you might consider, in fact, the webcam is broken.

    You can always take the laptop to a local repair shop and get a notice.  This isn't a real difficulty expensive even if it is the offending material.

    Good luck.

  • Windows 8 Metro apps does not open

    Windows 8 Metro Apps does not and can not access the Windows store.  I tried Apps Troubleshooter who said that he could not solve the problem.  I tried to do a restore.  It is said that he cannot fix error.  I read one post from another who says all this happened when they uninstalled McAfee.  They believe that uninstalled McAfee deleted an important dll.   My Acer Aspire also came with McAfee installed and I uninstalled it when the trial period has expired.   I think that's when my problems started.   The other user said that the metro Apps worked once they bought McAfee.   Does anyone have a solution that does not involve the purchase of McAfee?

    Windows 8 Metro Apps and the store will not open again

    Windows 8 Metro Apps and the store will not open once again.

    I was unable to open Metro applications and Windows store.   I received help suggesting that I create a new user.   It worked for a day.   Then, I was not able to open Metro applications using the newly created user account.    So I tried to create another user, with another email address and the password that is different.  I received an error message that something went wrong and new account has been created not Code error 0 x 0070003.    Then I removed the new user created the day before and I tried again.  Same result.

     

    I ran SFC/scannow and received the error message the Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.   Details in Log/CBS.log.    I was unable to open this file to view details - need to contact the administrator.    My user has ability to administrator access code.

     

    I ran Refresh and error message received: redraw of your PC problems.  Has been no change.

  • Updated Windows 10 anniversary - camera stay connected - Powershot SX530HS

    Microsoft, in their wisdom, has broken the link with my camera and their most recent, like big update.  "It allows to work."

    When I connect my camera to my PC, the device says it's connected, and my computer starts the camera window.

    BUT by the time camera Windows finishes loading, the camera is already disconnected and closing the window of the camera because the camera is disconnected.  The camera turns on, it just disconnects.

    I can't remove my PC camera device because it does not appear until it is connected.  And even then, it disconnects after about 30 seconds.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    If anyone has this problem - mine, just start the configuration of Wi - Fi in the Canon Utilities.

    In doing so, turned on my camera to connect to my PC and I managed to upload photos once again without any problems.

  • Camera problem back on the standard dell platform 5130 pro 11, 64G

    It happens sometimes: the rear camera can not only be launched whenever I flip the camera on the back, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

    This problem does not appear immediately after the start, but it happens that after a considerably long waiting period.

    When this problem occurs, for the most part I can go back by simply clicking on the key to the victory under the screen, but it sometimes causes system freeze, where longlonglong I press the power button to restart.

    Other applications works perfectly. only this particular windows built in camera photo app!
