Check to make sure that no other programmes are access the sound drivers, or any of the software that's needed for this to run correctly.  Press control alt delete and see what applications and processes are running.  Close any thing that you think that could interfere. Then try running it again.  If that doesn't work first run a scan to check you haven't downloaded any nasties, then re-install your cam software again.

Right now I don't have any option to use the Yahoo! Messenger as it will not work right on my system. I am not sure why, but it just stops responding after a while. I removed it and cleaned out my regestry each time and then reinstalled the program only to have it happen again each time. So, I do not even have Yahoo! Messenger installed now. It is working just fine on my fiance's computer so it must be my computer and not the program. Odd, though, as it was working just fine. I know it isn't a bad file as I have cleaned out all orphaned and broken regestry keys, so go figure. \n\nAnyway, this is difficult to answer. Each have features the other doesn't which I wish would be combined into one. I really like the sealth settings on Yahoo! Messenger, yet the MSN Messenger has better web cam clarity than Yahoo! provides with the exact same web cam. I also like how MSN contacts, hotmail contacts and my Outlook contacts are all basically assesable together. I can put a calender reminder in hotmail, and get a reminder via MSN messenger, my Outlook, hotmail or all three if I like. I really like the new interface of both Yahoo! and the new hotmail, or MSN live mail. Yet, hotmail is much easier to integrate into Outlook if I so choose to do so than Yahoo! mail is. Yahoo mail is still integratable but there is much more headache than with MSN Live Mail. Now, I like the Yahoo! Smilies and Audibles as well as the backgrounds much more than MSNs. They are easier to share too than MSNs. I think if the features I like about Yahoo! and MSN were all put into one I would hang these up in a heartbeat and use the new intergrated one. Then again isn't that just a fact of life, that you never get everything you want in one place? LOL

Have you tried COMPLETELY uninstalling it and reinstalling it?  There might be a file that got broken somehow, and that might help.  That's the first thing I try when one of my IMs isn't working.

I never had problems today. \n\nWhy dont you try installing it again? Do a complete remove and then reinstall it. There might be a spyware or a software that got installed that might have corrupted one of your yahoo messenger files.

delete yahoo! messenger and reinstall it again.it's probably has some compatibility issues or bugs.It is also sometimes caused by a virus, but not if don't think so.

Have you tried re-installing the new version? Sometimes during a download packets are lost and the program will not run properly even if the install works perfect. I suggest removing your current version of yahoo IM completely then re-download the new version. That should make it work.

Try updating your web cam drivers themselves and be sure all other applications are closed. You can also try another video conference software like iVisit for instance that is GREAT and FREE!

I've had the same problem with messenger in the past. It probably isn't anything you are doing wrong. More than likely all of yahoo messenger is messed up. Try contacting yahoo...there should be a troubleshooting site. I usually just either notify them or give up.

Try updating your driver and the creative webcam centre\n\nhttp://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=218&sOSName=Windows+XP&region=1&Product_Name=WebCam+Instant&Product_ID=10410&modelnumber=&driverlang=1033&OS=10&drivertype=0&x=20&y=15\n\nIf you have yahoo messanger open and you are trying to open use it from the creative webcam centre you might experience a problme becuase to applications are trying to use the camera at the same time. Close yahoo and see if the creative webcam software opens without any problems or vicde versa.\n\nI hope that helps.

Go to the Yahoo! Help pages. From there, go to "Messenger" help. Once there put in a question of what your problem is into the "question" box. Click go. A page of possible answers will come up. Look for one close to your problem. If nothing comes close, there is a link to e-mail customer care. I have done this. My problem was Messenger was crashing while using Launchcast radio. I asked my question like this: "Why does Yahoo! Messenger crash when I am using Launchcast radio?". I got an answer to un-install and then re-install Windows Media Player. Which I did do. It did not fix the problem so I e-mailed customer care and we are now e-mailing back and forth trying to fix the problem. Good luck with whatever your problem is.
