The fix is not in 2.0.0.6.

That sounds like you have a new Logitech camera and the firmware has crashed.

Have you send us copies of the crash log and logs from the logging 
version of the driver so that we can reproduce your problem.

No need to do this -- it won't fix anything that rebooting won't fix.

Can you send me a copy of any correspondence you've had with Skype on 
this issue. I'm assuming that you've reported it to them since we've 
identified the exact problem.

At this point there is very little I can do until Skype releases a 
version of their application that calls Quicktime correctly -- what 
they are doing 100% documented as Illegal.

I would encourage anyone experiencing this problem to file a bug 
report with Skype -- it has been fixed, but the fix has not been 
accepted in the general distribution because it it an "architectural 
change".

If there are not a sufficient number of bug reports, it won't be.

If you do not file bug reports, they have no idea that there is a 
problem and won't consider it worth the risk of changing the software.
