Unable to view webcams

Hi all...I have an HP laptop with built in webcam. I have inactivated it and replaced it with a MSFT Life Cam which works fine. However, for some time now, I am unable to connect with web cams from others...whether in Yahoo, MSN, etc. Sometimes I can connect with Skype. Do you have any suggestions about what might be blocking this and how to solve my problem?

 

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply Dick...I have downloaded Flash & also Java. It works most of the time on Skype, but not on Yahoo & MSN messenger. It's like my system is blocking the connection, but I don't know where to look. Thought it might be something in Norton or a new rule I need to define to open a port. Just don't know what to do.
