  3. my flash never crashes, unless i have my webcam running. i have a toshiba nb205 netbook with 1 gb ram which i know is low. could that be causing my webcam applications like stickam to crash? i really need this fixed asap. it doesnt crash if i use skype so i know its not just the webcam itself.

    fico score
