  • OK JackE, I have reinstalled Windows 10, that assistant allowed me toget the latest version without losing any personal files, photosand programmes, which is good. The camera now works on its own without Skype, so the Windowsinstall has fixed that problem, it is a bit grainy though, especiallyin full screen, it is only…

  • Hi again JackE, I removed Skype, but things were just the same, then skype came back!It came back signed in with my wifes name, crazy.
