No fan of rap here, but I suppose lots of folks felt the same about Rock when Frankie Valli was at his hottest…..
Fav song is possibly Follow Me by Unckle Cracker…..Mr. Blonde608 – you should have seen my face when I heard the rest of that CD, lol.Queen (still miss Freddy) Clapton (though not God, is still very cool to hang with) Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Green Day, Hootie, RHCP, Robert Nesta Marley and the Wailers, Jethro Tull (whose crew is cooler than his band to hang with), Pink Floyd, and ultimately Jimmy (dirty sellout ba$tard that he has become) Buffett. The Buddha is a Parrotthead…
Partial list, 😀It’s amazing the things you find out a program is doing on your computer when you install something like a firewall that keeps track of that sort of stuff, isn’t it? Who knew?
DJ – thanks – after I denied YM server status, I went into a room – allowed someone to view my webcam and chatted (in the room at least) with that person. Are you saying that if I wanted to do those things ‘one on one’ or in a conference, I would be unable? Just trying to grasp the secuity angle on this….as far as the server status is concerned – allowing the server to occur, that is limited to YM with no *known* security vulnerabilities? Thanks.
This is an additional question rather than a reply (lol).
I have the same problem on a whitebox P4 @2ghz with 256mhz RAM, Windows XP SP1, bottom of the barrel Creative Webcam and generic mic from Staples. I have tried to use Windows Movie Maker and cannot record audio. I used the M$ audio detection util and it says my mic works fine. I have made sure that my audio input settings are at the highest (to compensate for the cheap mic) and determined the mic works by voice chatting on YM several times. I’m using the inherent sound capabilities on an AsusP4V533 MotherBoard. When I run the Movie Maker, all I get is a mild humming sound while watching the movie. Any help will be appreciated. TIA
Zygrony – just beware, the danger in running an older version of YM opens you to alot of exploits. There’s a few posts around here somewhere regarding the newest version (5.6.1358) that closes a buffer overflow trick that a lot of folks (myself included) got caught with and ended up infected with a javabyteverify virus. You said you went from 5.6 to 5.5 – which 5.6 were you running? Maybe you’re better off going ‘up’ instead of ‘down’…..
I got nervous reading your post and went ahead and checked my own activity on webcam via YM. I had no problems at all (I just installed a router myself.) It might help to know what setting you went ahead and adjusted re: port forwarding. I have most everything disabled (with the DMZ to a non existent addy, just inside my range of potential IP addresses). I’m just a basic user in that respect – no gaming needs here. If we can’t find the answer here, try news.grc.techtalk. Those guys are mamzingly knowledgable – and helpful.
This is a bit delayed. This same problem happened to me on 12/26 – before I knew this place existed.. I sent yahoo help a complaint and received a form letter in reply. The next day, I got an email from a contractor of yahoo’s with a questionnaire asking how had they fixed my problem. At that point, they still hadn’t, lol. It took about 3 days to resolve the issue and I only knew because I kept checking to see if I could log in. Yahoo never acknowledged they had fixed the problem or notified me that my account was available for use…..
