| Newbie | My Webcam will not work on MSN or Yahoo Hi I have a Compaq Presario F600 running Vista Home.Everthing else works fine except my webcam. I can see my cam on my screen, but not the the othe persons. I run the latest trend micro protection which I have tried turning off, but all I get is loading and then network connection error. I have read numerous other threads, although none have seemed to come to a final conclusion on this matter. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you |

Thank you You say you can see yourself fine, but not the other person? If you can see yourself, and the other person can see you, this is not a problem with your webcam at all. If you cannot see the other person, that is something wrong either with your software (MSN/Yahoo!), or a hardware problem on their end. However, I'm going to assume it's actually your webcam not working (As in the other person cannot see you) Alright, after taking a look for your PC/Laptop online, I actually can't track down a Compaq Presario F600. As shown here, it goes from F500 to F700, with no product page or drivers for a "F600" computer. You'll have to clarify this. Anyways, I've found a "universal" HP/Compaq Webcam driver available for download here if you'd like to give that a try. Otherwise, please clarify in detail: 1) What problems you're experiencing with your webcam 2) Using Desktop or Laptop 3) If Desktop, what model of Webcam you are using 4) Computer Model Number Thank you! |

| Guest | Re: My Webcam will not work on MSN or Yahoo Some TV Tuners install a driver or software, that allows recording applications to record TV from the card, rather than using a Media Center application, I have the same problem, it's a simple fix, that can be done from inside the Instant Messengers Options. |
