reasons for failing video: a) old DirectX or b) Nvidia graphics card which is not supported.
So first update install latest DirectX. If it still does not help, you can read there which NVidia graphics cards are known to not work.
The Skype Team has released the 2.6 previews as you know, the 2.6 previews fixes the problem b) with the Nvidia cards since such are now supported, but notice that previews are with bugs:
