Philips webcam SPC900 installed , but Skype cannot see it

Windows 8 Pro with Skype 6.3.0.107 - device manager shows no errors (webcam driver version 1.0.3.37), Skype can see the spc900nc integral mic but cannot see the webcam. Strange?

PS: For the record the win 7 compatibility report says the webcam is compatible....................

Not wishing to be impatient, where else can I get help if folks here are unable to assist?

I'm have the exact same problem expect i have a microsoft webcam.
But mine works on desktop and not metro app

Windows 8 requires your permission to activate the camera..

try this from Microsoft.

Not able to open Camera app: error this app needs permission to - Microsoft Community

Skype community was no help.
No one replied to me.

It wired. Skype can see my built in mic from webcam, but cant see camera
