I've managed to create the window, but I can't seem to be able to show the images.

Richard, although I'm a yahoo groups member I can't seem to get into the site to download the webcam.bbc file that you have provided.
Would you be kind enough to send me an alternate download link for the program or post a code listing, as I am very keen on developing a time lapse capture application using a webcam.
Thank you in anticipation.

Strange. Try these direct links to the various versions of the program:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/Multimedia/webcam.bbc
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/Multimedia/webcam_ESC.bbc
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w/files/Multimedia/webcam_WIA.bbc

You need to be a member of the BB4W group, not just of Yahoo, to download these files.

Try it with a different browser perhaps? Although I generally use IE, I've got Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome installed for recalcitrant sites!

Sorry, in that case I have no idea. 794 people are currently members of the group, and nobody else has previously reported any problem joining it.

Maybe they're having problems with their website. I've just tried again with Firefox and the same thing occurs. White screen and no web page, although the address bar shows that the page is loaded. Totally miffed!!!!

If I try to access the group as a non-Yahoo member (using IE's InPrivate Browsing option to disable my cookies) I get the 'Sign in to Yahoo!' page, so at least that seems to be working correctly.

What I can't easily do is to reproduce your situation of already being a Yahoo user, but not a member of the BB4W group. As the group owner, I'm not allowed to leave it!

Can you at least confirm that if you attempt to access the BB4W group without first being signed-in to Yahoo you do get the usual Yahoo sign-in page?

After clicking your link I get a graphic rich page up with a sign in box on the right.

If at that point you sign-in to Yahoo afresh, do you still get the same problem joining the group?

Okay, a full update on my attempts to login.

I googled for Yahoo Groups, clicked link and entered BBC Basic in the search box.

A page appeared with my yahoo id already inserted and options for preferred email address and email format.

I entered the captcha text and clicked on 'Join'

White screen appears with this address in the address bar:-
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bbcbasic/join?check

Waited five minutes and nothing happened.
