for i dnt know how many yrs i have a great webcam but with yahoo messenger it makes my logitech look shitty as fuck...freezing, pausing, im looking all pixelated...craziness..the other day i did a search and found this actually makes my webcam work and move like im using skype. clear, moves with me no freezing awesome.... this is for those that use windows or have pc's
If Messenger is crashing when you try to broascast your Webcam, please try the following fix:
Shut down Messenger if it is currently running.
From the Windows Start menu at the left bottom of your screen, click Run.
From the input area, type regedit and press Enter. The registry editor application should open.
On the left side, expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder (or key), then expand the Software folder under it and select Yahoo.
If there is a Webcam folder, go to the next step. If there is no Webcam under the Yahoo folder, go to the Edit menu and click New Key and type Webcam.
Select the Webcam folder.
From the Edit menu click on New, DWORD Value and type UseVFW without any spaces.
Double-click on the entry UseVFW and change the entry in Value data to 1. Then click OK.
Exit the Registry Editor application.
Restart Messenger and try starting your webcam by clicking Start My Webcam from the Messenger menu located in the Messenger window.
when i did this i discovered there wasn't a webcam folder in my yahoo thing but afterwards my cam no longer freezes and im more confident for those that insist on doing camshows via yahoo....
i dnt use mac but if i come across a solution for those w macs ill post it here...good luck!
