Click the "Camera Settings" button.
There is usually a checkbox for "Invert Image" or "Mirror Vertical." Un-check this box if one exists. If you can't find this checkbox, try searching the other tabs.

Normal 0 Try this, while the computer is running and the picture is upside down, unplug the camera from the USB Port , wait a few seconds and then plug it back in. I have fixed several that had the same problem by doing this.
Worth a try.
Hope this helps. Bud

Hi Rushguy55

It may be a Direct X issue.

First,
***Follow the link below to Test ur webcam using Internet explorer
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger75/webcam/webcam-03.html

The above page will check compatibility with Y! messenger.


Minimum Requirements:
For your webcam to work with Yahoo! Messenger, it needs to support the following:

1. Either one of these image sizes:
   • Small image size: 160 x 120
   • Large image size: 320 x 240
2. RGB, I420, or IYUV formats. (Each is fine; we recommend RGB 24.)
3. Microsoft DirectX version 9.0

To get this information, click here to download a Microsoft application that checks to see if your webcam device meets these requirements.
To make it easy, when you’re asked where to Save the program, just save it on your Desktop.
Once it’s downloaded, here’s what to do:

1. Double-click the amcap.exe file on your desktop.
   • If you have more than one webcam installed, click the Devices menu and select the one you want to use.
2. Click the Options menu, then click “Video capture Pin.”
3. Under “Color Space/Compression:”, choose one of the following formats:
   • RGB 24 (our recommendation)
   • I420
   • IYUV
   Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo! Messenger.
   
4. Under “Output Size”, choose one of the following:
   • 160 x 120
   • 320 x 240
   Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo! Messenger.
   
5. Click OK.
6. Close the ampcap application.
7. From your desktop, click “Start” and select “Run”.
8. In the run box, type: dxdiag
9. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
10. On the System Tab under “System Information”, look for DirectX version. Verify that your version is DirectX 9.0. If it is, just click Exit. If your version is older than 9.0 (any lower number), click here to download the latest version of DirectX.
11. Start the webcam from Messenger by clicking My Webcam in the Messenger menu.

hope this helps. . .
