Ok so I've been having the hardest time lately with my webcam working on yahoo messenger. The odd thing is that occasionally it works, and much of the time it doesn't.

It works fine in other programs as far as I can tell and I did some sort of compatibility test on internet explorer and it said my webcam is compatible with yahoo messenger.

But, pretty much everytime now when I invite one of my friends to view my webcam it says on their end that the webcam is not available or something. I checked all the settings and its set to allow viewers.

I've tried installing different versions of YM (using 9 now I think, its been the most stable so far.) and I've tried re-installing my webcam software. I recently (couple days ago) re-installed the whole XP computer, but no change in the webcam.

Is there something I can try to fix it?

I'm not exactly what kind of webcam it is, it came installed with the Windows XP on my MSI Wind netbook. If you need this info, where can I find out what it is? I think maybe Bison something...

any ideas?
