    When I turn on YouCam on my dv2000, and I pick up my left hand, the right hand shows on the screen, and vice versa.

    So pretty much the opposite happens. I can be looking left, and it shows right on the webcam.

    Anyone else have this problem? Anyway to solve this?

    Its the softwares fault, there should be an option to disable mirror view somewhere.

    Ah k, I'll check it out.

    I get the same result on my dad's laptop, so I'm guessing it's universal. I'll check out the program though, thanks.

    Yeah it def. works with MSN. Maybe I should use another program, instead of YouCam. I thought it was the driver problem. >.<

    Thanks everyone.
