Hi Chris,

It would have helped if you'd quoted the model/make of your webcam, but for
what it's worth, I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT at home and a Logitech
Webcam 4000, and both work perfectly, no need to turn anything down (that's
not a solution!)

Have you tried all the usual suspects? Ie: update the drivers for your
mobo, 9600xt and webcam?

HTH,

Neil

I bought a new system and had the 9600xt put in it... and so far
determined the card was crap for using webcams with. I Bought a new
cam thinking it would solve the problem but it didnt...now i have two
cams! I found some help at a cam site that said the new xt was not
very compatible with cams and that ATI was aware of this.... the only
fix for it is to turn the HARDWARE ACCELERATION way down...this works
and will let me use the cam in some instances but not all....but now i
have to switch back the slder if i want to take full advantge of my
card.
Anyone else had problems with there cars like this and is there a fix
coming out?

Chris...thanks all

ooops sorry should have realized that Videocard is made by Asus...and
the cam i am presently using is the Logitech 4000 zoom and my previous
one is the 3Com. I bought the logitech becasue my 3Com would not
work...only to find my Logitech would not run either without moving
the slider down. as mentioned above.
Yahoo is right out of the question to run my cam. If i do it freezes
up and I have to reboot. Trillian is the same. As is a cam place I
sucbscibe to. (ISPQ) And its actually ISPQ that mentioned the 9600
had problems with cams and that the only way they know to fisx it was
to turn down the acceleration. And it works ...at least for ISPQ and
MSN Messanger...but still not yahoo or Trillian. But if i try to
adjust any settings while in the program that do run...it stops
responding.
And yes, I always make sure i have the latest drivers etc for my
equipment.

ANy more help you could give would be appreciated

I have the Intel cs 110 and it doesn't work with it. I have the
ATI 9600XT BTW if anyone is keeping track.

I have an old Intel cs110 hooked up to a PowerColor 9600XT and have no
problems whatsoever. I am using Omega drivers though. Maybe that makes a
difference but I doubt it.
