    "Not usable with XP with video"

    July 27, 2011  |   By roymer

    Pros

    None that I am aware of due to the problem with video viewing.

    Cons

    I cannot install Version 5 with my computer which has XP as the operating system. Other computers with Windows 7 are fine, and the cam works fine with them too, but video with V5 and XP shows a jagged video display only.

    Summary

    Skype Help is HOPELESS with problems like this..all they have are the simple Q&A situations and they have NO HELP DESK at all. A forum suggested reinstalling Version 4 and video works fine with this XP and this webcam, so the problem is Version5. Not impressed with Skype availability to assist with problems..they are MIA.
