My webcam shows a green screen when I try to use it with yahoo messenger... How do I fix this?

Yes i have had that problem i had to reinstall my cam, if you have the disk that came with it try reinstalling it, but before you do remeber to remove it from your add and remove list in the control panel, and all of its components before insatlling it, hope that helps ya..

I am having the same problem as well. I have not had a chance to uninstall I have to get more memory for my computer. Otherwise when I shut it down after the reinstall it is very difficult to get it back on, as my virtual memory is low..too many homevideo dvds and pictures..so this sucks but glad I am not the only one with the problem. It was working fine yesterday, ah technology. Have a good one.

unplug the camera

install the software for creative

reboot your system

plug in the camera (into a usb port not near your keyboard)

run yahoo messenger

setup your webcam

run your webcam

try this next time...when u start your web cam and the window appears... click on file top right then web cam source and select your web cam...it worked with me when i had similar problem.

reinstall your webcam software
