    Hi I am trying to use the video on Skype but each time I try to start the video Skype tells me that " Skype did not find preferred video source. Webcam could be in use by another application". I am not using the built in webcam with anything else. The 'preferred video' source is set to Acer Orbicam Anyone got any ideas?
