FP Problems detecting Webcams - Freeze

Question

Hi all.
I hope there is some1 that can help me.
I use a program to stream some video over msn from time to
time with a friend abroad, which works fine.
But when the program is installed flashplayer crashes
internet explorer 6 (abend) and on firefox i get an error message
an error has occured and that i need to restart firefox.
If the program is not installed i don't get this error, then
flash player works.
Does anybody know of a way to either disable flash player
from detecting the installed program (that acts as a webcam) and
only my real camera or to just point to one camera and not let
flash player detect anything, just assume that the cam given is
working and always there.
...OR how i can fix it so that my real cam as well as the
program cam both work?
I use WindowsXp sp2 with all latest hotfixes, latest
flasplayer (9,0,115,0)
Follow-up/side question: Is there a way to set the default
camera to use in flash player?
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
ikkuh2

Answer 1

If you Right-click on Flash content and select Settings, you
can access the camera settings:
What are camera settings?
Camera settings let you select a video camera to use with
Adobe Flash Player. The pop-up menu displays all the cameras that
Flash Player finds on your computer.
What happens if I do nothing?
Flash Player automatically detects any video cameras on your
computer and displays the name of the default camera it will use.
If you do not select another camera from the pop-up menu, Flash
Player uses the default camera. To see a live display of the image
being detected by the default camera, click the Video Preview area.
Note that the Flash Player asks your permission before
allowing an application to access your camera or microphone.
What happens if I select another camera?
If you select another video camera from the pop-up menu,
Flash Player uses the camera you selected. To see a live display of
the image being detected by the camera you selected, click the
Video Preview area.
What if Flash Player doesn't find a camera?
If Flash Player can't locate a camera on your computer, the
player displays the warning "No camera found." Read the
documentation for your computer and your camera to make sure your
camera is installed correctly.
How can I display this panel again?
You may want to display this panel again if, for example, you
want Flash Player to use a different camera. To display the Camera
panel:
1. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the
application image while it is playing.
2. From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the
Camera tab.
I don't see the Camera tab, so I can't display this panel:
If your computer or device doesn't support video recording
using Flash Player, you cannot select a camera to use, and this
panel doesn't appear.
