There may be two things to look for :\n    1)Make sure the your settings in your Control Panel\n        are synchronized.\n     2)Do you have the appropriate graphics card?\n         Video driver?

You downloaded the wrong one.  Uninstall that one and get the one that is totally free.  You can talk all over the world for absolutely free.  I use it with my webcam.  You can do the same thing with Yahoo Messenger.

Open up your firewall configuration and put the webcam details on the "allow" list, but it should "pick it up" automatically and ask you whether you want to allow it.  \n\nHowever, I have a webcam and mine doesn't need firewall access so  you may not need to do anything.

if you can access the internet fine and your using 3rd party webcam-cast software/websites then it means that the server (website allowing you to broadcast your camera) is down or too busy at this time.  if your using your own software to host your webcast then you have to talk to the software vendor for support with configuring it right.

Are you using a dialup connection, then there may be a speed problem.\n\nOtherwise, reinstall drivers.\nTry one web cam at a time.\nRAM memory is too low...

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

Maybe your friend had not accepted your request to view his or her webcam. Your software might not be updated or it is not yet supported by webcam. Another one could be is that your friend's computer does not work properly and it might had an effect on viewing the webcam of your friend

At time people can not see anything on the cam because they are on a very slow internet connection. To be able to work properly with a web cam, you need to have afast internet connection.\n\nHowever, make sure that when others wish to view your webcam, you let them do that. You will aksed for when others request to view your webcam, and you have to say yes to that. \n\nFor your mic, it could be due to you pluging it into a wrong port on your computer. Makr sure you are inserting it into the correct port, you can mostly identify ports using color on the port and the color on the mic cable.

Try updating your web cam drivers themselves and be sure all other applications are closed. You can also try another video conference software like iVisit for instance that is GREAT and FREE!

Most likely, it is showing up as a question mark somewhere in your device manager.  You probably need a driver for it.  If an installation CD came with your webcam, install whatever is on it, and try again.

Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

pls try to reinstall  the driver, if it is brand new return it to the store to show you the correct setup steps or better look for the brand A4 tech webcam, it is the best brand for our dummies like us, and it is very user friendly any idiot can do it like me.

It all has to do with firewalls - Supermode requires a direct path from you to your friend.  If you have no firewall but they do, their firewall will see the connection as a type of intrusion thus causing it not to work.\n\nYahoo uses the following for Supercam:\n    * Protocol: TCP\n    * Server: webcam.yahoo.com\n    * Port: 5100\n\nSo make sure you and your friends have TCP port 5100 forwarded to your computer.  This is usually done by logging into the router or opening the firewall's options and looking for a function called "Port or Service Forwarding".

I had that problem with Yahoo messenger when I had another program that uses the camera on also. If you have something like ActiveWebCam or perhaps a utility program from the manufacturer of the camera, that will cause the whole computer to lock up. A camera can only be used by one program at a time in my experience.

First: Dont turn off your firewall.\nSecond: If you are trying to use the webcam to broadcast to the internet, read up on how to open up different ports on your firewall to allow this. This totally depends on the application you are using for your webcam.\n\nIf you update your question with the application, I will be happy to help you some more...\n\nKEEP YOUR FIREWALL ON!!!!
