I am writing to see if anyone has any idea why my Twinklecam webcam no longer seems to be working at Yahoo Messenger. It used to work fine. I got some viruses on my PC, which I cleaned up fine, then I noticed that my webcam doesn’t work anymore. I thought maybe my new anti-virus programs were somehow blocking it from working. I uninstalled them, and it still won’t work. I figured I would update my Messenger, and downloaded the new 8.0 version. Still no joy. I reinstalled my cam’s drivers – no luck.
I can’t use my cam anymore at MSN Messenger. I stopped being able to use it at both programs simultaneously.
I am weirded out by this, because I can still use my cam at Eyeball Chat.
Any ideas why?July 13, 2006 at 7:40 am #147971dvelez1985Member*omit*

I’ll do some research and get back to you if I find anything.Thanks for any help you can give, but you are wrong about anti-virus programs. While they do not directly control the software, they often cause conflicts that cause software to malfunction. I have lost count of the number of times i have heard complaints after people have installed anti-virus software that other programs won’t work.
