Webcam Skype Problem

ingliz83 · Aug 17, 2013

So im trying to do a skype video call...

I have a cheap MediaTech Skype Webcam which has always worked for the past 2 years...

I did a re-installation on my system yesterday and now my skype video call keeps telling me "Cant start video. Try closing other programs that may be using your webcam".

I have closed every program/process running even from task manager and it still tells me the same...

I have tried using different USB ports.

I have even tried down grading skype...

Not sure whatelse to do... any ideas please?

Did you install the webcam drivers? You'd think they are all plug and play but most are not.

any idea's anyone?

I've never heard of media tech so I guess it's a brand? http://www.media-tech.eu/products/webcams Either way if you click on the camera (no "skype model" must have another model number somewhere) you will find the drivers there.

I have downloaded the drivers from the Media Tech website and its still not working. I have even tried it on Webcam Toy and the webcam works perfectly.... but on Skype its still not working, it just keeps on telling me that another program is using it
