I am having trouble using the
webcam with Skype

Check for updates to make sure you installed the latest version of Skype.

Check the microphone setting in Audio Settings and the webcam setting
in Video Settings. They should be set to USB Video Device (Windows
XP) or HP Webcam HD 5210 (LR374AA) (Windows Vista or
Windows 7).

I have more than one USB
Video Device option. Which
one should I use?

You have more than one video device connected to your PC. Try selecting each
option and then attempt to use your webcam. If the webcam works, you found
the right option. If the webcam doesn’t work, try another option until you find
the one associated with your webcam.
