Quite possibly would it help to see if there are any updated drivers for your webcam?

Hey.. try this >> http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/messenger/win/webcam/webcam-15.html

It forces Yahoo to use Video For Windows which is a bit safer than using what you manufacturers drivers use. It has helped other similar problems.

Let me know if it works.
