Logitech and yahoo

Postby MQmoxie » Tue Jun 27, 2006 1:52 pm

So every time my wife tries to get a video feed with her logitech camera on yahoo it locks up the whole computer. She just reinstalled XP and Yahoo IM so there shouldn't be any issues. HELP!

I've never tried YIM video feeds, so I couldn't tell you. All that I can think of is a driver conflict with the camera that your wife is using.

If anything, I'd try something other than YIM. MSN's video feed is pretty good, but I'd recommend Skype. Much quicker and prettier.

I can't use any other program. The compter I use over here is an army one that doesn't give me an option.

Figures, the government would support the big business and not the little guy.

The only other suggestion I have is using Trillian Pro, which allows video feeds through YIM. This would be something that your wife would use.

However, it costs money. Which is a bummer.

And who's computer is it freezing? Yours?
