A friend's Laptop went Kind of crazy, Adobe Flash was crashing all the time ("Shockwave Flash ist möglicherweise beschäftigt oder reagiert nicht mehr") and Skype refused to logon. I decided to do a "Windows refresh", but this failed because "some files are missing". We did not have an Windows DVD by hand, but we found a way to get it done.
How I fixed it:
You Need your Windows 8 Product Key for this!
Go to: http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only
Choose the desired vesion of Windows 8 / 8.1, download and start the installation. This will refresh your system. After the Installation there will be many, many updates (106 for me) to apply!

The camera is used by another program
On my sister's Asus A8JR Laptop Skype was complaining "The camera is used by another program".
How i fixed it:
She had ICQ installed and it was started with windows. Setting ICQ to not start automatically, made the webcam usable for Skype.
