Greetings,
What type of error messages are you seeing? Yes, Messenger video conversations are only available in Windows XP. If you want to have a video conversation with someone not using Windows XP, you'll have to use Netmeeting. The Netmeeting option isn't enabled by default in Windows XP, just ask your contact using a previous version of Messenger to click the Actions menu then Start Netmeeting -- you'll be able to accept the invitation in XP. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com wrote in message ... windows xp will not let me use a webcam, why? does the other person have to also have windows xp?

If I remember correctly Netmeeting is in XP - you can get
to it by typing "conf" in the run dialog box. Regards. -----Original Message----- Greetings, What type of error messages are you seeing?

Hi Mark,
You can do that, but since there's no directory server, you'd have to know the IP of your contact and such (and they'll have to find and start Netmeeting on their Windows version). Just having someone initiate it from within Messenger is much easier. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Mark" wrote in message ...
