Hi,

I have a webcam which tests fine on the settings wizard,
but I am unabel to send a webcam to anyone, I get a
message saying that my webcam is not turned on or is used
by another program. This is in fact not true. The webcam
functions fine with any other program including
netmeeting. It is a generic cheap USB device.

Thanks

Doron.

Hi there.
I have had exactly the same problem except i am using a video camera that i
have installed and can see it in the tests and even through the yahoo tests
that i have done but for some reason when it comes to actually using it
properly it wont work.
Have you had any luck, please let me know, i am getting desperate!!!!
