Hi and welcome.

Have both of you tried un-installing the camera and its drivers then re-installing them to see if that would rectify the problem?

 

I think I may have found the answer here!
Try getting the latest version of direct x from Microsoft!
www.microsoft.com/directx
On a 56k it's about a 90 minute download.

 

Please let us know if it worked

 

For all those people who cannot instantiate their graph builder here is the answer.

You must have Directx version 8 if you are using windows 98.
I also downloaded flash player because i use Yahoo Messenger as well!

This works well.


One word of warning!
I actually fdisked my machine and reloaded all my programs having placed all my valuable stuff on a burned cd!


Rather radical but well worth it! My machine now is an immaculate conception!

All With best with your webcams!
