  • Help!? Yahoo messenger can't connect to my webcam! Why? It use to work before now somethings wrong. And I know for a fact that it isnt the webcams fault. I installed the latest driver and made sure it was connected. In addition to that I tried testing the webcam and it works on youtube and other programs ,but not yahoo messenger. Here is a link of what am I seeing.The warning was that the image size was too big?? http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/1482/newbitmapimagek.png
