To get to Yahoo Chat rooms, click your Messenger menu, then choose Yahoo Chat, then Choose Room but be forewarned that Yahoo seems to be doing some kind of changes to Yahoo Chat (seems like they always are) and many of the rooms do not seem to work right now so you may have to try a few of them before you get into one that you like. You can also get some information from the Yahoo Messenger official blog (from Yahoo) at http://www.ymessengerblog.com/blog/ and I see on today's blog that they have a New User Workshop in the works for 8/25 so that might be a good place to get some answers too. Hopefully, several of the members from this group will join that forum and let them folks know about this group for long term help since Yahoo doesn't hold these types of forums very often... if ever, in the past. I comment on the blog on a regular basis and plug this group so people can find us easier.

All my computers are homebrew, this one is a P4 3.4GHZ with 1G RAM 32Bit OS MS Vista Ultimate (New install) We both just downloaded the YM so I assume it is the latest version. We are both on DSL, We have not tried another service. What would that be? No chat rooms, would not even know how to do that. The prefs are basically default. My computer is running whatever installed when loaded plus Windows Live for security etc. Probably his is as well. I am thinking of trying to run it in "Safe Mode" but have not done that so far.

RAM, processor speed, etc.? What version of YM? Do you both have the same version? What kind of internet connection... dial-up, dsl, cable, T1? Have you tried webcamming and using mics through another service besides YM? Have each of you tried using webcam and mic individually in a yahoo chat room to see if maybe it's just one of you having a problem? How do you have your YM preferences set up for webcams? Do you have your computers running efficiently without a lot of junk using up resources?

Myself and another guy are trying to look at our mugs while talking on the microphone. The video keeps freezing and the audio has a bunch of noise like someone is banging a bunch of rocks. We can hear each other and sometimes see each other but the stuff is not working well. We both have logitech cameras. I expect that someone knows exactly what we are doing wrong. :-) Stan _____ _____ avast! Antivirus <http://www.avast.com> : Outbound message clean.
