Try lowering the security level. In internet explorer go to tools, internet options, security, then lower the default and custom levels.

Active x is not anyway.\n\nyou need to enable active x components from browser settings

If you are using Windows, you could download a newer version of YIM! (4.1 or later?)  Plugging your webcam into one of the USB port, and the IM session would guide you through enabling it for your friend to view your webcam.

I'm going to assume you mean when your in a chat room or talking to someone else. There could be many things that are wrong:\n\nCheck to make sure you are using the same name you logged on with and are allowing the other person to view. \n\nYou may have a connection that is too slow or a bad connection that requires you to try several times before you get a picture.\n\nMake sure that all cables are plugged in, and that your camera is working.\n\nHope this helps!

when u install it, it should have had a webcam program with it. \nor if u have a good graphical program do import and then choose source as webcam, or if u have a client like messenger installed click on webcam

It's not an error message. Your computer is telling you that your settings prevent the use of ActiveX controls.  You can get rid of this message by going to Tools, Internet Options, Security tab.  Reset your security settings to "medium." That should get rid of the dialog box in most cases.

go to tools-->options-->security tab and then choose the option "enable" for all the options for ActiveX controls.\n\nNote : it is not always safe to enable ActiveX controls.

Usually if you add a router then web cam will not work you have to put gate way IP address on address box then put admin and password admin or if you have verizon dsl then use password and password box use password then use port forward put yahoo port 5100 will work

I had the same problem with mine.  If you have a firewall on your computer that's probably the problem.  I went to preferences:connection: and changed it from "firewall no proxies" to "no proxies" and it works fine now.  You might want to fiddle with those settings. I still dont know how to get super webcam mode to work.

If you are using Internet Explorer, ensure that java is enabled and activex control allowed

I dont know about which chat room you are talking , but in most cases people forget installing Java Virtual Machine, Flash player. But if you are talking about yahoo chat room , try reinstalling

It has to do with your PC settings or the specific chat room. Different on-line chat sites will allow different settings.

I really want to help you solve your problem. But you haven't posted enough information. Can you please let me know the model of the webcam etc.\n\nWhat I would do is uninstall the webcams program and reinstall it this might fix the problem

if you go to a chat or IM like Yahoo or AOL, it wil work the same, the browser has nothing to do with it, if you just want to takew pictures with it, it should be listed i my computer, you double click it and there you go

Check the security setting of the browser. Check if the cookie is disabled or ActiveX code disabled. \n\nOr its the case when firewall of Windows XP and Firewall of Internet Security both are enabled.
