Are you right clicking on the ID on their buddy list, then going to More Actions > View Webcam? If so, it's bugged in Yahoo! Messenger v9.0. You need to open up a PM window then go to the Actions menu, then View Webcam.

If this doesn't work, then the issue is server-side and nothing you can do (downgrading, etc.) will probably fix this issue since the webcam servers are basically running with a large load thus making them unreliable.

In that case, I'd recommend an alternate instant messaging application like Windows Live Messenger for things like webcamming.
