Trying to set up Skype for my mother so she can talk to my sister in WA but whenever I try to log on, the computer reboots.

I had it working for a minute once but never again.

I uninstalled and reinstalled both Skype and the webcam software(Logitech C270) and there is no difference.

I also updated to the Skype newest Beta version with no luck.

Sometimes after it crashes, Microsoft generates a crash report that implies it has something to do with the webcam drivers but I have updated those so I'm not sure.

Saw one "solution" on the web about deleting an .xml file in Skype but that didn't work either.

Can anyone suggest anything else?

I found this http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Video...pplications-Non/C270-works-not-in-Skype-calls-but-in-Skype-settings/td-p/581192

it says to contact Skype Support.

It's weird because I don't think it has to do with Skype. I can unplug the camera and Skype starts normally.

If I try to use the Logitech software, it reboots.

I uninstalled the Logitech stuff and reinstalled the webcam with just the MS uPnP drivers and it works OK. The video stutters slightly but not bad. I haven't been able to try it with Skype but it's OK so far.
