Aggh! My webcam was working perfectly, but the machine had memory problems. It was shut down for two weeks while waiting for new memory. The memory arrived, was installed, tested, everything is working fine.
Except the Webcam in Yahoo messenger. I can't even get to the configuration buttons on the preferences pop-up. I've followed everything I could find on the yahoo site. Nothing.
I've un-installed and re-installed Yahoo Messenger.
I've un-installed and re-installed camera Drivers.
The worst thing is that yes, it works with MSN Messenger, so it is not the internet connection. It works from a different PC, so it is not the router or network.
If I just click on "Webcam" everything Yahoo Messenger related just hangs. I can't even terminate the process using TaskManager. All I can do is reboot. Any help would be appreciated.
Details:
Yahoo Messenger Version: 7.0.0.437
Windows XP SP2, Firewall disabled
Camera: Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000
Hardware list under Control panel shows no red "x" and no yellow !
Works in MSN Messager
Router has port 5100 open
Thanks in Advance,
Linus
