I'm stuck with a few issues concerning this camera.

I have updated driver files, dll's etc. Even went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling the program software for the camera. I have problems in certain programs, i.e. Yahoo, gcn, etc. from publishing video. I get "abnormal program termination", illegal operations, YPager faults, or runtimne errors in these chat programs. I have the latest vb runtime files also. I am totally lost. The runtime errors have no numbers usually, it depends. When I am in the programs and I lose my video, my native software cannot even recognize the format of the video and I get three dialog popups if Im still within one of the problemed chat programs. A reboot is the only fix to getting the cam to work again. I have tried unplugging the usb cable and replugging it, but I get an illegal op screen which starts the cam not working again.

I can operate my cam perfectly in paltalk, netmeeting, and eyeball chat though.

I am running a compaq 5822 with an intel celeron 500 X386 with win 98 SE.

I have contacted IBM and they say to notify yahoo of the problem. The ibm fixes do not work, and the default .bat file for fixing errors within the softwares program doesn't fix anything neither. Yahoo has never returned my emails pertaining to any questions I had.

If anyone would know my problem please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your time in reading this message.

RJ
