    i go to yahoo cam help and i follow thes
    Why do I see a black screen when I use my webcam?

    For your webcam to work with Yahoo!7 Messenger, it needs to support the following:

    1. Either one of these image sizes:
    * Small image size: 160 x 120
    * Large image size: 320 x 240
    2. RGB, I420, or IYUV formats. (Each is fine; we recommend RGB 24.)
    3. Microsoft DirectX version 9.0

    To get this information, click here to download a Microsoft application that checks to see if your webcam device meets these requirements.

    To make it easy, when you’re asked where to Save the program, just save it on your Desktop.

    Once it’s downloaded, here’s what to do:

    1. Double-click the amcap.exe file on your desktop.
    * If you have more than one webcam installed, click the Devices menu and select the one you want to use.
    2. Click the Options menu, then click “Video capture Pin.”
    3. Under “Color Space/Compression:”, choose one of the following formats:
    * RGB 24 (our recommendation)
    * I420
    * IYUV

    Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo!7 Messenger.
    4. Under “Output Size”, choose one of the following:
    * 160 x 120
    * 320 x 240

    Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo!7 Messenger.
    5. Click OK
    6. Close the ampcap application.
    7. From your desktop, click ‘Start’ and select ‘Run’.
    8. In the run box, type: dxdiag
    9. In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
    10. On the System Tab under ‘System Information’, look for DirectX version. Verify that your version is DirectX 9.0. If it is, just click Exit. If your version is older than 9.0 (any lower number), click here to download the latest version of DirectX.
    11. Start the webcam from Messenger by clicking My Webcam in the Messenger menu.


    and i close this microsoft tool after i finish and i goo to yahoo messenger and its apeer balack screen
    when i return back to microsoft tool i se the reseltion return back to
    640 * 480

    have the same problem like you klnu2000. tried to resolve the issue, but nothing good yet. you resolved in any way?

    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger9/webcam/mstacamreq.html

    Under “Color Space/Compression:”, choose one of the following formats:
    RGB 24 (our recommendation)
    I420
    IYUV

    Note: If one of the options above isn’t in the list, then your webcam is not compatible with Yahoo! Messenger.

    My webcam on aw290JFQ support just YUY2 compression. So it's not compatible with YM. Other can see me, but i see just black screen.

    klnu2000 is you resolved the issue, please help me too. thank you!
