How to fix a scratchy voice when on Yahoo web cam It works fine on one computer and not another. Both use XP?

her connection is probably not as good as yours, so it cannot load the graphics, and the voice as quickly... so, a faster internet connection for your sister should do the job... and not running a bunch of other websites at the same time.

some types of webcams like zenit and others need to install driver come with it on its CD. try Install it and then use it in windows without chat, then in chat after it work

First, check your Recycle Bin and see if it is possibly in there to be restored. Second, if you must install software, my best guess is just to go ahead and reinstall the disc that came with the cam. (You may need to uninstall this and reinstall, do you have paperwork that came with it?) What version of Windows are you running, eg.: '95, '98, XP, etc... XP has a rollback utility, go back to another time, before you deleted it (multimedia audio). I have had help from the friendly folks at Radio Shack over the phone, believe it or not, in "talking me through" fixing some configuration settings. I have found the ones local to me to be really helpful and generous with their time and advice. Try giving them a call first if you aren't sure what to do. I hope it works out for you!

After you install your webcam try restarting your computer, that should resync the webcam with your computer. It should work after.

your question mean what? \n1. it does not work totaly in windows or \n2. you dont know how to make it work (eg :video chat in yahoo massanger)\n\nanswer for question 1. if it is totaly not work (not function in windows) you need to find driver to work.\n\nfirst of all\n\ntry plug in your webcam to pc. if your windows just detect and dont ask (prompt) for any software or driver that mean no need to install additional driver.\n\nif windows ask it, try find cd that come with your webcam. if lost. determine what brand your webcam is. try search at google using this keyword : "driver for xxxxx webcam (replace xxxx with your webcam brand or model)\n\nanswer question 2. of you dont know how to make it work with yahoo masssanger,\n\n1. click  menu "messenger" at main yahoo windows. if you dont know how to find, look at the above icon you use to change your status.\n\n2. click "mywebcam" and follow the instruction. read carefully, because we are here just can instruct you in text, so what i can say here. key to success in computer is "read and understand what u click"\n\ntry.. good luck

Personally, I use trillian, it's an instant messanger program. It allows what is called tabbed windows so each buddy list shows up in a single window, this helps. If you want to go to live chat which I also use, Get a headset mic this helps eliminate a lot of background noise. Web cams I would go with logitec they are awesome excellent quality. Down sides - static sometims like a really bad cellphone, delays, sometimes don't work with certain programs. web cam's always have a delay fster speed connection and your computer speed all of that factors into the length of the delay. I use Skype it allows even phone calls to land lines and is crystal clear though I haven't as yet tried the video function it works well and even has a conference feature though I believe that does cost.

make sure u install the drivers with the disk it came with or look for the website for the brand of web cam u have and download them there. if that dont work, then contact the company for help.

If your on Yahoo go to messenger/ preferences/web cam and try resetting it there,,have had the same probs...

Difficult to give any advice really as you say you have tried everything. If the audio is OK in  other use then we can presume the settings are Fine. It "could" be a simple bad connection, does the person you are talking to have the same problem?, is it always distorted no matter who is on line?  All I can suggest is to look at the FAQ's on MSN site, see if anyone else has the same problem. It could be your PC/Video Card is just not up to spec to deal with video calls. Try it without video, see if that helps and close any other programmes running in the background. Best of Luck

The system restore could possibly have restored your system to a point prior to installation of the webcam. Try the following:\nPower down your pc.\nUnplug the webcam.\nReboot\nUninstall the webcam software and drivers, and if you know where it's folder is, delete that too.\nReboot\nReinstall the webcam's software and drivers, but don't connect the webcam untill it tells you to. (You may have to reboot again before you plug in the webcam)\n\nHopefully, this will work - if not, then yes, take the cam back and get a new one!

remove the web cam \nyou MUST remove any drivers and software you have installed for it\nDONT just reinstall or repair over the old one!\nreboot your machine\nreinstall the drivers\nreboot the machine\nfit the web cam\nand test\nit seems a bit long winded but it is the best way to avoid problems
