Skype in Ubuntu couldn't see my Microsoft VX-7000 webcam

My VX-7000 works fine with Cheese, but not in Skype. I'm not sure any of the stuff in part 2 is necessary, but typing the command in part 1 below, in terminal mode, instantly started Skype and the Video:

1. Since your camera is recognized by ubuntu. So may the famous command:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Of course you don't want to type this every time you use skype, so make a script that runs when you type ./skypescript.sh in the terminal. Then paste the ./skypescript.sh into your desktop LAUNCHER and you are done.

To prepare the script place this follow the instructions in this link but replace the script with this one:

#!/bin/sh

sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo

sudo modprobe uvcvideo

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

This script loads the driver and preloads stuff, then runs Skype.

Next, run this command to make the file executable:
chmod 777 samplescript.sh

and you are in business.

2. The mess below, was very busy, but did not succeed. Installing the drivers for the webcam. Not child's play.
