Dell Vostro 1510 webcam not working

[VF17]

It says everything's fine and working but on skype it's just gray with a loading circle. It was working earlier then this problem started. I restored it to an earlier setting and it worked again. Now the same problem is going on. I think maybe some automatic windows update is messing with it?

It could potentially be a Windows Update, or maybe even malware of some kind.

Is it ONLY Skype doing this? If so, try re-installing it and if that does not work, try another version of Skype to see if that makes a difference.
