    Just looked, so it's a download to ccleaner and the drivers are for the acer things, but that one looks to technical for me, so if that is where I look to reinstall the webcam, I'm sure going to need your help/guidence please.

    Stop stressing. I've got to go out in a min.

    Have the problem gone?

    Have a look in the Device Manager to see if any Drivers are missing.

    Have you tried using Skype now?

    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    As long as Drivers are installed, the webcam should work with Skype. The Orbicam application should be separate from that.

    Have sent you a PM.

    Talking of stress, in 2003, I had a heart attack caused by stress, you've gotta laugh.

    I forgot to ask the standard IT question. Did you try switching it off and on again?
