It sounds like a driver issue. Try reloading your webcam software/drivers on the hard drive with XP Home... the problem OS. If I remember correctly, the last time I had issues similar to this a few years back, it had to do with the cam drivers being installed in the wrong place. I think they need to be in the System32 folder or sub-folder, since the same drivers run the cam for all applications that utilize the cam... but I'm not positive. It's been a few years.
I take that back. I just checked MSCONFIG and my vsnpstd.exe (cam driver) is in my C:\WINDOWS folder but I'm pretty sure there are other drivers related to webcams that load into other folders. It's been a while. I just did another search on my computer and see the vsnpstd.exe and vsnpstd.dll are in also in the C:\Program Files\Common Files folder.

Posted by: "johnwwin" [EMAIL PROTECTED] johnwwin Date: Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:55 am ((PST)) Ok....the short version first. If I click on "My Webcam".....YM hangs in a nasty way....cannot end the task, only option is restart, and that takes some effort. I have already tried the YM Webcam registry entry that YM help suggests. Now...the strange part. In the same box, I have two disks that I boot to via bios...one for work, one for personal. The problem system is XP Home....the other is XP Pro. Both have the same version of YM. The cam works fine in the XP Pro system....it also works fine in my sons XP Home system. The problem system is a new install...(previously had W2K....couldn't resist CompUSA's $39 sale last week on XP). The only thing that I can think of is that the other systems had previous versions of YM....got to 8.1.0.209 by means of upgrades. Are previous versions of YM available anywhere on the website? I am at a loss for ideas.... John
