webcam problem with Yahoo Messenger

[Ozplanman]

I have a Dolphin Peripherals USB 1007 webcam connected under Win XP Home. Works with MSN Messenger but not Yahoo Messenger. Had driver problems initially but as it works with MSN problem seems to be with Yahoo program. Anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks for any help.

I've had the same problem. Yahoo's new messenger doesn't recognise a lot of webcams it used to. You can try troubleshooting through the yahoo messenger or contacting yahoo for their compatibility list. Best luck.

One can help many- many cannot help one.

Thanks for the help. I finally extracted some sense from Yahoo and followed their instructions to do a registry edit - worked like acharm! 'Cam is now working properly.

I think the link is help.yahoo.com/help/us/mesg/webcams/webcams-30.html

hope you can find it!

Chers and thanks for trying anyway!
