Why does EVERY cam that I try to access in a Yahoo chat room refuse to load ,? When I log onto a Yahoo chat room and try to access someones cam, EVERY cam refuses to load....not even to the point of letting me ask for permission to view. What settings do I need to change? I used to view cams all the time on my old PC |
1) Internet Explorer - IE is coded with Yahoo Messenger and responsible for most functions - Signing in, games, etc. You do not need to make it your default browser but keep it up to date and clean.
2) Microsoft DirectX . This comes pre-loaded on most Windows computers but has to be updated
To start the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, click 'Start', click 'Run', type dxdiag in the Open box, and then click OK
Run through the tabs checking the 'notes' windows for information
The version will be shown on the 'Systems' tab
I am currently on version 11
3) Optimize your Messenger to receive webcam broadcasts
INTERNET CONNECTION
Open messenger - on top toolbar. Left click ( > ) Messenger > Preferences > Connection - Select 'no proxies' or 'connect direct to the internet' depending on the version of messenger you have
make sure your internet connection and country are correct in the lower two boxes > Apply > OK |
How do I refresh the 'Join Room' window in Yahoo Chat ? Each time I try to change rooms, the window that appears with the available topics/rooms etc is displaying the same details, chatters, web cams etc for the last 6 months !!! Nothing changes or updates each time and it does not give up to date info on how many chatters in each room etc. How do I get this to update ? |
| press F5 key above the numbers this refreshes the page |
Anyone else always checking mirrors and air vents in changing rooms for spycams? I am always looking at the mirrors when I try clothes at stores to check if they could be 2-way mirrors. I always look up at the air vents and light fixtures for any cams. Anyone else like this? And is there a realistic way to find out the probability of stuff like this happening? |
| No,I am not that famous or goodlooking. |
Is there a way to prevent me from being banned in a webcam chat room? I keep getting banned from a webchat room that I frequent weekly. There are several moderators, but one in particular doesn't like me because I have more of a fanbase than him. He keeps banning for a period anywhere between 1hour - 24hour periods. He watches me talk to the people in the chatroom and them talk to me and he gets jealous because he feels left out I guess. I've tried being nice to him, reporting him to the head people on this site, stop doing what he claims I'm doing to get banned (flooding, putting him in his place when he attacks me, and not being in front of my cam at all times). I'm guilty of none of these, but he makes it seem like I am. I'm fed up with his behaviour and I was wondering if theres anything I can do to PREVENT him banning me? I've tried deleting cookies, using proxies, trying to change my router's and modem's IP address, with no success. My IP won't change when I want it to. I've tried opening other accounts, to try and gain access to the site, but it remembers who I am, somehow. This mod harrasses me and others and says whatever he want to say to us and when we say something back, he bans us. He also has the power to read what you are typing in private chat messages, and he will BUTT into your conversations and tell us not to say this or stop talking about people, etc. Isn't this an invasion of privacy? IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET AROUND HIM BANNING ME AND OTHERS AND WHEN HE DOES BAN US IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO OVERRIDE HIS BAN AND STILL GET ACCESS TO THE WEBCHAT THAT ME AND MY FRIENDS LOVE TO GO TO???? HELP!!!!!! |
| You can start your own chat room. What you're asking is like asking if there's some way to keep me from keeping you out of my house. HE'S in charge, not you. Why are you going where you don't like the way the rules are applied? Take your friends and your fans and start your own room. |
What was the big idea about changing yahoo?? I've been offline for several months and just got on last week. Seems that while I was offline yahoo decided to get really stupid and delete all my pics and made a code to type in before I can even get into a room! It supposedly was to keep bots and spam out of the rooms but that's a big joke on us who like the chat rooms! Every room I've been in over the last week has bots in it. So why the change??? why not go back to the way yahoo was before?I had to change messgrs just to get in a room because the old ones do not work with the new rooms. I would rather have the old yahoo back. Seems to me that there are just as many bots and just as many idiots who pm and or send cam invites as there were before. Yahoo needs to pay attention to what we want instead of doing only what yahoo wants. Most everybody I know do not like this new yahoo any more than I do. |
Yahoo photos closed on September 20, 2007 are you sure they are totally deleted - i read that it may be possible to still move your photos- check on flickr for your photos login with your Yahoo ID Yahoo owns Flickr and running 2 services got to be too much.
The code for Chatrooms is a ONE time --that is all it should be- they will never keep bots out of the room - i have never been in a room that didnt have a BOT and it sure can be frustrating especially during league play in the Game rooms
You can get into the rooms using older messengers- So i dont know what the problem is there - but you are NOT forced to upgrade-ok
On a lighter note:
change happens - i guess whether we like it or not we have to deal with it - but i think the hidden message in the Yahoo acronym is (you always have other options) lol
"other changes"
Did you know that if you were using MusicMatch that is goneand it is strictly Launchcast
Yahoo mail is now being called - Yahoo Mail Classic and Yahoo mail beta
They are making it possible for the MY YAHOO PAGE to be easily customized with the WEB2.0 features.
and 1 more thing- but probably definitely not LAST another
New: Site Did you know about Yahoo Mash -too?
"social networking"
if ya want an invite - email me with your Name and Yahoo address and I will send you one! |
I am having a very difficult time accessing Chat Rooms and people viewing my web cam-mostly since Y M Ver 8.1? I am not able to access chat rooms for long periods - it takes 5 or more minutes sometimes to change rooms - and hardly anyone can view my cam.
And I am getting repeated I E Script error messages stating " Library not Registered " .
How can I convert back to an older version of Yahoo Messenger ( I have version 8.1.0.209 - Module 8.0.0.1 ) ?
Thanks for Your Assistance !

Now I am constantly getting requests to view my cam and everytime i block it the name changes. i click no several times and request pops up again. after I just dont do anything for a while the name also changes. is there anything i can do about this? |
| I am BOT |
When i have my webcam open and change rooms it stops the broadcast in the new room? i have to close the cam or stop broadcasting (and then lose anyone looking at me) then open it again so that the camicon appears by my name in the new room |
