Hi Laura,

It sounds like the macam application works fine; i.e., your hardware setup is OK. When there is a black image with writing, that is an error message; I would guess that in this case some other application is using the camera (did you forget to quit the macam application?) Only one application can use the camera at a time.

I like to test the installation of the driver by using HackTVCarbon,
it is about the simplest program to use to verify driver installation.

Good luck and let me know,
Harald

Hi,

I am using a logitech quickcam for notebooks, which is supported, with
my ibook computer (mac osx version 10.4.7). The macam driver works and
i can see a video through it. I can get skype to recognize the camera,
but it won't show a video, just a black box with some white writing. I
have the lateset version of macam (9.0) which I understand is supposed
to fix the previous problems with skype. I just can't seem to get it
to work correctly though. I looked through your support posts/archives
but couldn't find anything that helped me.
PLEASE, PLEASE help!

thanks,

Laura
