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?
Hmm no,that problem was not generated by the cam source issue,i assure you.It has been suggested many times on the site and i tried it myself before figuring it out.The solution for the grey-ish mask is the wrapper.I’ve never experienced any other problems with the cam.But from what i understand Logitech webcams have many problems so until i get an accurate description of the problem,i cant really give any advice or comment on it.
I guess I had another issue that was unrelated (to the thread I made before). When I checked to delete the old Yahoo wrapper, I didn’t even have one, so I uploaded the new one anyway. In the Yahoo web page, the snowy screen still displayed until I doubles checked the webcams source. Funny how I got the answer for my problem thru the help of another. 🙂
I get the same problem of the camera not supporting the required image size… Nothing on the yahoo help site works. I tried downloading the wrapper files, and had no luck. Now there’s a couple extra kinks in my problem. My cam works on netmeeting, but not yahoo messenger. I just bought this PC, and it has Windows XP Media Center Edition. Not sure if that’s what’s causing it. This same exact webcam works if I plug it into a different computer and try it with the same version of yahoo messenger. The Wrapper file that I downloaded from the sites mentioned is from 10/08/2002, is that the right one? When I try to change camera source, my CAM is not listed. Only ‘Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32), Version 5.1.2600.2180’ is listed as a camera source. Any other ideas?
just something to try. you said your cam works fine on another computer. have you tried plugging your cam in a different usb port. even a new machine can have a faulty port. may be worth a try.
Yes I’ve tried it in 3 different ports, I had the same thought at first. Also, I have a diff cam, Micro Innovations WebCam model IC100C
Ok I have some manuals and some free time I will look and see if I can come up with something a little more helpful.
