i had this problem before, what kind is it?

For your webcam to work with Yahoo! Messenger, it needs to support the following: 1. Either one of these image sizes: * Small image size: 160 x 120 * Large image size: 320 x 240 2. RGB, I420, or IYUV formats. (Each is fine; we recommend RGB 24.) 3. Microsoft DirectX version 9.0 To get this information, click here to download a Microsoft application that checks to see if your webcam device meets these requirements. To make it easy, when you’re asked where to Save the program, just save it on your Desktop. Once it’s downloaded, here’s what to do: 1. Double-click the amcap.exe file on your desktop. * If you have more than one webcam installed, click the Devices menu and select the one you want to use. 2. Click the Options menu, then click “Video capture Pin.” 3. Under “Color Space/Compression:”, choose one of the following formats: * RGB 24 (our recommendation) * I420 * IYUV Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo! Messenger. 4. Under “Output Size”, choose one of the following: * 160 x 120 * 320 x 240 Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo! Messenger. 5. Click OK. 6. Close the ampcap application. 7. From your desktop, click “Start” and select “Run”. 8. In the run box, type: dxdiag 9. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK. 10. On the System Tab under “System Information”, look for DirectX version. Verify that your version is DirectX 9.0. If it is, just click Exit. If your version is older than 9.0 (any lower number), click here to download the latest version of DirectX. 11. Start the webcam from Messenger by clicking My Webcam in the Messenger menu. Attention Logitech webcam users: Some Logitech webcam drivers may cause one of the following problems: * Windows freezes when accessing the webcam. * A black screen appears when using the webcam in Messenger. * A “Webcam not found” error message appears. * After 3 seconds, the sound drops out of calls made via Yahoo! Messenger. If you already verified that your device is compatible through the above steps and you’re a Logitech webcam user, please click here to update your Logitech webcam driver.

Check to see if they are attempting to use the same IRC address...if not then there may be a registry error when they were installed. :)

You need the driver version as well as Direct X 10 installed in order your Web cam to function properly. t4ke c4re
