WEBCAM trouble

I just installed 249 over 437 and it works good. If this doesn’t work for u then u could try to delete HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareyahoo and then install the 249. If this does not work u could try this.

I see nothing in both links. Saw that someone got the solution on the second link…but..where can i find the upload wrapper there?Thanks for any help!

U know u got to view the page in IE or firefox with IE tab extension installed for the test to work, right?

I had the same problem when I first installed that version of Yahoo messenger. I went nuts looking for a solution and I finally gave up after installing the same program a few times.

But then, one day I uninstalled it, I installed the Spanish version of yahoo messenger (I’m Spanish, you know), and then again, installed the English version and voila!! it worked and all my camera problems disappeared.

I don’t know why and I don’t know how, but the truth is that it worked and so far I haven’t had any other camera problems like those I had (negative image and no color).

I hope my experience helps you guys.

Regards from Spain 🙂

Hi there, poor “grey ghost” NIQ. 😉
I’ve just been reviewing this thread, and seems that all except you and Calila have the problem cured. Did u indeed try the 2 links that StupidIs posted, to no avail ?
AND I assume you’ve also tried 7.5.0.333, the latest Beta (just in case Yahoo have fixed some problem by now) ?

Might I ask too, CALILA – did YOU ever get this problem solved yet, since November ?

HAHAHA guys here is the solution.i had this problem too but nobody was able to give an answer so i tried to find a solution for myself.
The idea is this:in order to run your webcam properly you have to have the proper yahoo webcam wrapper installed in your “DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES” folder in WINDOWS.the thing is that they say you should download one wrapper for Messenger 7 and another one for Messenger 6 from this link http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/messenger/win/webcam/webcam-18.html for version 6 and from this link http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/webcam/webcam-47777.html for version 7 but my problem was that no wrapper was downloading for version 7 so i finally ended downloading the wrapper for version 6 even though i have Yahoo! Messenger 7.in order to make this work though,you have to sign out and close messenger on your computer go to C:WINDOWSDownloaded Program Files and delete the old Yahoo! Webcam wrapper.download the new one(even though its the same freaking thing),restart your computer (just in case) and try out your cam over the net.it WILL work!

My pleasure 🙂

Hi Guys, I have the same problem which is not fixed by your answers. I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro5000, and get the error message when checking – “your camera does not support the image format. Yahoo! Webcam requires Vfw that supports 160×120 pixels.”
I have checked the compatibillity site and this one is not yet listed. On Yahoo! messenger, I do not get the option to select this webcam. On Skype and MSN Messenger I do get the option. I’ve tried the suggestions on Yahoo website to no avail.

Strigoi, great work. After some tinkering, I finally got it working.

I don’t know if anyone else had to do this, but when I uploaded the new wrapper, I went to the webcam options and double checked that the webcam source was set to Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX. It wasn’t set to anything surprisingly, so I changed it and it worked. Perhaps installing the new wrapper is not needed and just checking the camera’s source is all that is needed?
