The web-cam must have came with a disk. You must install the disk software on your computer in order for the web-cam to work. If you dont have the cd. Go to where u purchase the camera and they must guide you on it. You can also go to google.com and type in software for whatever model camera you have and download it to you computer.

Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

Go to "my computer" and right-click and go to properties.  Then click the "hardware" tab.  Then click on "device manager."  Make sure your webcam is plugged in.  See if there is a webcam listed in the "device manager."  If not, you may need to install a driver that came with it on a CD, or download a driver from the manufacturer.\n\nIf the webcam does show up in the device manager, delete it, and shut down your computer.  Then unplug the webcam.  Boot up your computer until it has finished loading completely.  Then plug the webcam back in, and try using it or installing it again.

Make a note of the model number or name of the webcam\nGo to the labtec website and download the appropriate driver.\nWithout plugging in the webcam, install the driver.\nReboot\nPlug the webcam in (if you've plugged it in before this, plug it into a different port)\nAllow the computer to install the camera although you may have to point the computer at the driver file (so make a note of where its installed the driver file to)\nIf you move the camera from USB socket to USB socket, it will try and reinstall it.\n\nHope this helps\n\nDHW

Open up your firewall configuration and put the webcam details on the "allow" list, but it should "pick it up" automatically and ask you whether you want to allow it.  \n\nHowever, I have a webcam and mine doesn't need firewall access so  you may not need to do anything.

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

you need the software that came on the installation disc which accompanied the cam in it's packaging. If you don't have that, you may be able to go to the manufacturer's website and find what you need there for download. If you have a dialup connection this download will take at least several hours. Go to http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/categories/US/EN,CRID=1794 and click on your cam, start from there. Good luck

Did you turn on the camera and switch it to the view images mode? You need to have the camera on for it to work.\n\nAlso make sure you have Windows XP, otherwise you may need to install additional software that came with the camera.\n\nFinally, you can always reboot with everything plugged in and on to see if it will recognize the USB connection then.

Have you installed the software/drivers for the webcam?  You can't just plug a cam in your computer without its drivers.  If you did install the cam's software, try reinstalling it again and see that helps.

Install it on your computer. \nIt should have come with a software. Start the software and make sure you are able to view the camera iamges. \nIf that does not help, then start yahoo messenger and then click on the menu on the top that says "messenger" and click on view my webcam or start webcam or something like that.. all set and done.

Go to this website and download the Webcam driver package, run the software and follow the instructions. On certain USB devices you must install the software before plugging the device into your computer.\nhttp://www.mic-innovations.com/downloads.cfm?category=PC+Cameras&sub=Webcams&id=IC435C&type=drv&submit=Check+Downloads

If you're running a firewall, try disabling it TEMPORARILY and see if it will work. If so, you'll have to do some troubleshooting with your firewall. http://help.yahoo.com/help/aa/mesg/webcams/webcams-13.html\nmight help.

The system restore could possibly have restored your system to a point prior to installation of the webcam. Try the following:\nPower down your pc.\nUnplug the webcam.\nReboot\nUninstall the webcam software and drivers, and if you know where it's folder is, delete that too.\nReboot\nReinstall the webcam's software and drivers, but don't connect the webcam untill it tells you to. (You may have to reboot again before you plug in the webcam)\n\nHopefully, this will work - if not, then yes, take the cam back and get a new one!

Are you using a dialup connection, then there may be a speed problem.\n\nOtherwise, reinstall drivers.\nTry one web cam at a time.\nRAM memory is too low...
