    On this last trip I actually needed to use my webcam for skype and there was a recent update for the webcam central control program. Whenever I start it directly or access the cam through skype, the program crashes right away and I cannot use the cam. Does anyone have any ideas or see similar issues with this update?

    I've personally never used it as I only use my webcam for Skype and such. Have you tried to re-install it?

    If the update didn't bring extremely useful new features you could always roll back to the previous version.
