Mukul 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 I have used QUANTUM webcam and it worked great with Windows XP, So does your Camera works with other applications like VP-EYE free software with the camera or windows Movie maker? If it does not then reinstall the drivers and if it does then you need configure the camera properties of the Yahoo messenger. Change NTSC to Pal. This should work.

jayant 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Well usually the problem with newer ones is that the IMAGE source being used by yahoo is not been selested properly. U can try opening ur cam and then from the cam window open preferences and then from camera source chek if u have seleceted the correct one... This usually happens if u use some cature cards like TV TUNER n all.. or u se some softare to capure images from ur destop like CAM GRABBER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
