Orbicam for yahoo messenger

i got the same problem with my ym 11 too.. but honestly looks like its ym problem that it may just work whenever it want to.. :( but try this.. open Yahoo Messenger click on "Messenger" (on top), choose "Connection Preferences" select "Connect via Proxy Server" try to log in ..
if it doesn't work put it back to the original settings, same instruction go to YM, click Messenger then Connection Preferences select "Connect directly to the Internet".. this time try to disconnect your internet connection first.. and then with your YM open enter your username & password but dont click "connect" yet.. connect to internet & log in to ym (you should click "connect on ym right after a second you are connected to the internet)

You can use web messenger, like KarooLark web yahoo messenger http://karoolark.com/#yahoo

if you can browse the internet but YM program doesn't launch at all it could be the program has problem of its own, you can try uninstalling your current YM program by going to control panel then add/remove programs then choose your yahoo messenger and click remove, then install a new one from the internet:
you can download a stand alone installer of yahoo messenger by using this link:

1st sorry 4 my poor English.
if you have problem to sigin Yahoo Messenger(YM) . 1st you check the internet explore(IE)is working correctly. most of the time it don't work. (but Firefox,chrome,Gtalk,etc..etc.. are works correctly)
so go to IE ->Tools->Internet options->Connections->LAN Settings-> Check Automatically Detect settings and uncheck other options (See the Screen shot below).
Now IE and YM will work fine....

It is some update problem. Were firewall settings blocked ym from opening and connecting. Try this methods....

There is a simple solution to this kind of issue but I can't figure why. Here it is:
If you are using YM and having issue with webcam, try this:

open up a new account with YM then try access your webcam in the YM Setup. Let me know if this works.

as far as wat i did to my YM.

i simply checked the connection preferences and turned

"Connect via a proxy server."

then select

"HTTP proxy"

after that take a look at your internet connection dropdown list..

some mistakes are seen here.. instead of having the "broadband" connection selected the "dial-up" connection was chosen by YM itself..

hope that helps ya ^^

No need to buy new cam ,i think the problem is with your yahoo messenger .Try by unstalling the yahoo messenger and then reinstall it and then check with the cam .Hope this will help you

check out ur audio driver in device manager look for update.
you can update in device manager but sometimes(more often than not) get reply latest driver installed.
well the latest driver isnt always the best.
if this the case download a driver from hp site .if driver still no better or worse;you can roll back driver in device mannager to previous one.
could try update codecs (encode/decode) as different codecs have different compression ratio's.

its a camera ofcourse it works offline, but it is built to use with windows live messenger and not with yahoo
