Answer 1

First of all if you are on dialup dont expect it to run very well if you could get it to run! Also keep in mind, voice and cam will give you big problems if you dont have a high speed connection and plenty of bandwidth! In ANY event, dont run everything but the kitchen sink in the background! You might also go through the steps below....Shut down Yahoo! Messenger if it is currently running.
From the Windows "Start" menu at the left bottom of your screen, click "Run."
From the input area, type regedit and press "Enter." The registry editor application should open.
On the left side, expand the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" folder (or key), then expand the "Software" folder under it and select "Yahoo."
If there is a "Webcam" folder, go to the next step. If there is no "Webcam" under the "Yahoo" folder, go to the "Edit" menu and click "New Key" and type "Webcam."
Select the "Webcam" folder.
From the "Edit" menu click on "New" then "DWORD Value" and type "UseVFW" without any spaces.
Double-click on the entry "UseVFW" and change the entry in Value data to "1." Then click "OK."
Exit the Registry Editor application.
Restart Yahoo! Messenger and try starting your webcam by clicking "Start My Webcam" from the "Messenger" menu located in the Yahoo! Messenger window.
