Here are a few things you can try: Make sure the correct camera is selected by Messenger. To change your camera source:
1. Click the Messenger menu in Messenger and select Start My Webcam. 2. Click the Messenger menu in Messenger and select Preferences. 3. Click the Webcam category. 4. Click the Camera Source button. 5. Click the drop-down menu and select the desired camera. 6. Click the OK button. ALSO Your firewall must permit outgoing TCP connections on port 5100. Your XP SP2's firewall - If you are running Windows XP, you may be running XP's in built Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) without your knowledge, since it is the default. Follow these steps to ensure that the correct ports are opened. 1. Click Start, Settings, and select Control Panel. 2. Double click on the Network Connections icon. 3. Right click the connection that you use to connect to the Internet, and then click on Properties. 4. On the Advanced tab, uncheck the box Protect my computer... if you would like to disable the firewall. If you like to only open the webcam ports, check the box and continue with the remaining steps. 5. Click the Settings button. 6. Click the Add button. 7. Under Description... fill in Yahoo! Webcam. Under Name or IP... fill in 127.0.0.1. Under both External Port and Internal Port fill in 5100. Check the button TCP. 8. Click OK to close all opened dialog boxes. Let me know if any of these work.
