Hi @jgd1 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP TouchSmart 300-1017 and Webcam not working on Yahoo Messenger. Being this program is not working correctly I would consult Yahoo for Help. It is not a hardware issue as it works with Skype.
I would uninstall and reinstall it as this usually works.
Thanks.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

    This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
    We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
    I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
    Problem:
    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
    Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera. 
    I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software. 
    Even after removing all the old software, same result:  
    I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.   
    Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.  
    Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution? 
    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome. 
    I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software. 
    I test my camera before going online.  It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.   
    When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

    Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
    if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
    any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
    disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

    Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
    I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
    solution.
    His reply is below :-
    The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
    went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
    160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
    blank screen.  Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
    adjusting the frame rate.
    I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
    might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
    Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
    to adjust the frame rate (?).
    He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
    something does the trick.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
    please jot on a note on this thread.

    Hello @drifterboy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how the webcam is not working on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
    Since you have attempted to remove and re-install the software, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point when the webcam was working. This can be done by following this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    If the issue persists, I also suggest performing a backup and recovery of your Operating System. This can be done by following this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8). This should help return your system back to factory defaults.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

    Greetings Socs4bill,
    It seems your iPod has been exposed to liquid and is not operating properly. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Web cam stopped working with Windows 7 (but works fine with Ubuntu Live CD).

    Since two days my web cam stopped working. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and I have a Toshiba L505d S5992. It does not show in Device Manager and Windows Update doesn't recognize it, manually I can not install it, so my best guess it was broken.
    But then I tried the LiveDVD of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) and it recognized immediately my web cam and the blue light came on. I have no clue what happened with Windows 7 but it's getting very frustrating.
    Any help would be very welcome at this point.

    Download the webcam application for your unit from this website.
    Uninstall it on the programs and features then installed the downloaded webcam application.
    Hope this will help you solve the issue.

  • Can't get web cam to work with Yahoo messenger

    I can't get my web cam to work with my Yahoo messenger but it opens up with the Cam assistant thats all it will do.
    Can someone help me with this problem and get it working with Yahoo messenger?

    Hello
    Before you start MSN disable Camera Assistant Software. When MSN starts try please to check cam functionality under Audio and Video Setup. On step 3 you will have Webcam Setup.
    Please select there Chicony USB 2.0 Camera.
    The camera should start and in test window you should have picture.
    Can you use it now?

  • After update to 11.2.202.228 mz USB 1.1 web cam stop working

    Hi,
    I have a camera from MediaTech company, it is written on it MT400 and serial number 2604050599. Before latest update it works, after install newest version of Flash Player it stop working. I tested it on http://testmycam.com as one of Adobe employee advices on forum but I have only black rectangle. On top left corner of this rectangle it is written Camera: USB PC Camera (SN9C 102) , FPS 10. I disabled Hardware acceleration but problem remains. 
    As I remember this camera is USB 1.1. Does new Flash Version support USB 1.1?
    I have checked on Device Manager on my Windows XP Home Edition 2002 Version with SP3 device driver version it is written:
    Manufacturer : Sonix
    Driver date: 2004-04-02 (I can't find newer drivers on web )
    Driver version: 4.6.6.1
    Is it bug or Flash Player stops supporting such devices?
    Regards

    I pressed Allow, before pressing Allow background was grey, after Allow
    it gets black. I see the name of this camera on list. I also try another
    camera from Logitech (I can't remember what name was it, but one of the
    newest) and everything works which suggest it is strictly related with
    this specific camera which I'm using.

  • Camera is working but flash not working

    My Camera is working but flashlight on my iphone 5 is not working just few days before. This phone was iOS 7.0.4 version. can you tell me why?

    Hi Nassar Babu,
         Does the flash work when you take a photo?  You may have a damaged flash.  You may also try to reset the phone by holding down the home button and the top right sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds to see if that resolves it for you.  It's just a reboot sequence and won't hurt anything.  If the flash does not work at all... you may need a hardware repair.

    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. The crack suggests that

    Hi FIXMYWEBCAM,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY m6 Notebook and having Webcam issues. Have you tried to uninstall the TrueVision Hd device? If you do restart the Notebook after you uninstall it. It should install the current driver for you. Have you tried to use the automated troubleshooting for Windows 8.1? Here is a document on how to restore your Windows to 8.
    Hope this helps,

  • Wifi works but no connection to Internet.

    Wifi works but no connection to Internet. 2nd MacBook Pro on same wifi network works (but is using Snow Leopard while I am using lion 10.7.4). iPad works. Everything was working fine until yesterday.

    Have restarted router several times. My laptop started working after I did something (under stress, hard to remember, but at least was repairing permissions, maybe more...). Now, the laptop next to mine (my girlfriend's) has the same problem I had. In Network Diagnosis, the first four lights are green, but Internet and Server are red. The router is not mine (we are renting) and not an airport express--it is a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 GHz: WLAN light and light 1 (in series 1 to 4) are flickering. There is a separate light, Internet, which is not lit. I am writing this from my laptop which IS working from this router...

  • Web cams in IE but not firefox

    The Hogs Breath Saloon web cam wont run on FireFox4. It runs on the older version no problem.
    Duval St web cam has the same problem. I like to keep an eye on Key West so I look at these every day.

    There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
    To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
    Select the following long line of code and copy it:
    function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
    When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
    Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
    Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.
