Video with Windows Messenger
Hi all, well I cant get video to work @ all!
with WM 4.7, or MSN Mess 5. It says there's no video! But I have a Logitech webcam which works everywhere else. ie: In Windows Explorer, the drivers are installed. The cam also works with Yahoo Messenger. Does the video option in WM actually work?? Or it is there as an ornament?! Just to look pretty? Or do I need to install something else, besides WN and/or MSN Messenger, for the video to work? The firewall isnt enabled on the dialup connection But I do use Blackice and Zonealarm... Or do you have to actually be in conversation with someone for the video to actually work? (Which is pretty hopeless)! |

Probably all too obvious..... but, if it works in Yahoo Messenger, can you
confirm that you have run the Audio Tuning Wizard in Messenger? "Paul" wrote in message ... Hi all, well I cant get video to work @ all! with WM 4.7, or MSN Mess 5. It says there's no video!

If so, get the (even later) latest drivers from www.logitech.com and use them instead. I had the same problem as you describe here with a couple of PCs and Logitech cameras, and installing the latest drivers from Logitech - and then re-running the Audio Tuning Wizard - got those cameras working correctly in Messenger again. ted.h. -- Ted Harper [Fissile Software Pty Ltd] (Sydney, Australia) Email: Phone: +61-418-442-342 Fax: +61-2-9686-4192 |
