    Default yahoo messenger webcam problem

    Just today when I try to use my Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks with YM the video is in black and white. When I check in iChat.. its full color video. I already reinstalled the quickcam driver.. and yahoo messenger (deleted the preferences as well) and video in YM is still in black and white. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem? what are the possible fixes?

    ok.. its working fine now. I switched my mouse and webcam around (where its plugged) and its all good. I have no idea why changing which usb port its plugged into fixed it but since I came from a PEECEE background.. I understand that seemingly stupid things seem to fix problems

    Sayang, I was going to suggest dumping your PAL Secam Logitech (with me!) and getting an NTSC model !!!

    There is a problem with the interconnectivity with YM for mac and YM for windoze lately. So as an alternative I use AIM in iChat and the other party AIM ver 5.6.

    I hope the problem with YM resolves soon.

    I've also encountered problems with YM for Mac lately. The other parties I've invited to view my webcam (iSight) can't actually view the image. I was told the error message was "not available".

    aside from Logitech's Quickcam Pro, what other webcams can I use on my mac mini? I still have no budget for an iSight.

    I plan to use it with YM.
