Creative Live IM Webcam ~very out of Sync

[Lee Kerry]

Hi All,

I have a Creative Live IM Webcam, which has worked great under WinXp.
But now I have done a completely fresh install of Vista Home Premium 32 bit,
and I have installed latest drivers and webcam software.
And when I run the Creative Webcam Centre software it all works fairly well,
but it is still a little jerky.

However, it is only when I fire up Yahoo that the Video display starts to go
really not jerky but just out of sync and eventually the video display
itself freezes. I have gone into the Windows firewall and allowed all Yahoo
things to pass through firewall ok and yet still the problem persists.

Whenever I view a webcam from anywhere in the world, be it , timbuctoo or
Australia or wherever, their display is fine and seems just so natural,
(like mine used to be) but now, mine has that awful jerkiness and eventual
freeze thats driving me NUTS.

Is it a Network / Router (maybe) / or Firewall thing or do you thing its a
graphic driver problem ?????????????
Any advice help or solution guarantees my undivided gratitude, And more
forever onwards.

Please give me some clues anyone.
TIA

Lee,

The Creative website includes forums devoted to discussing Creative
products. Try perusing those forums for information about your issue, or
consider joining a Creative based forum to post the questions you have.
Another approach is to use google to search the Internet for issues related
to that which you have. Oftentimes you can find others posting about these
problems with answers posted as well. This problem likely isn't a Vista
issue, but who can be sure. It could be a driver issue, though, with some
bugs still not worked out. Checking for updated drivers is always a good
idea. Just some thoughts.
