[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1240754, member: 128337"] Yes, I have a old Microsoft VX 1000 webcam (vintage 2007) and following the clean reinstall the camera was shown in the Device Manager as not having a driver! No drivers were available via the auto search method and the ones available manually from MS were for Win 7/8 and will not install/run even in compatibility mode. I am not alone with this problem there are a number of forum posts at MS and others and from there I found an alternative driver source that works with Win 10. So with the webcam now fully functional I again tried new Skype but it still did not find a device for video, googled again and confirmed that basically MS no longer support the VX 1000 so no Win 10 drivers or support for it in new Skype, it still apparently works with classic Skype but MS have dumped that too so I'm screwed:mad:. The previous Win 10 install on this PC was the original free upgrade from Win 7 and the VX 1000 webcam worked perfectly with classics Skype.:rolleyes: I'm not sure I will bother to buy a new webcam (whatever it for sure won't be a Microsoft one), it is so seldom used but I may try swapping it with a newer Logitech one I have on my HTPC just to see how the new Skype looks. Given that the plugin will most likely not work with new Skype and I guess won't be developed any further it is probably curtains for Skype4MP,:cry: unless there is a repository for classic Skype somewhere????? I tried via old versions but as soon as the installer tries to download the additional code it is redirected to the new Skype download.:eek: [B]UPDATE:-[/B] You can get Classic Skype (offline download) from the link on [URL='https://www.winytips.com/skype-installer-offline-full-setup/']this page[/URL].:) All working again.
