Acer TravelMate in built web cam is failing to register with skype or anything at all

[halfbreed]

So, it's been working for a good half a year and now it decides to screw itself over. I have made no major changes to my system or anything appart from chainging optimisers and antiviruses. Anyone help me? I have checked other threads and nothing has helped.

Possible causes range from hardware failure to loose connections... and software issues range from driver issues to corrupted application. The link leads to a free ranging forum discussion of the possibilities.. http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/149203-Acer-built-in-webcam-missing

Your approach to the problem depends on your warranty status... if you are under warranty, contact Acer ASAP.
