Video conversations disconnect after a few seconds
Thanks Jonathan,
The final answer was to uninstall Zone Alarm, the TrueVector component was still operating even though I wasn't starting it at all. My only problem now is I would prefer to use a better firewall than the WindowsXP one, but I guess that can wait. At least I can now hold video conversations. Regards. Richard -----Original Message----- Greetings Richard, Usually this behavior caused by either you or your contact updating your audio drivers, and Messenger not recognizing the change. To fix this, both you and your contact should go through the Audio Tuning Wizard again -- to do so, open the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Audio Tuning Wizard and go through the wizard again. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Richard Abraham" wrote in message ... Trying to connect to another Windows XP user. We both have Messenger 4.7. Connection is OK, remote assistance works but voice conversations start and then immediately terminate. It just says connection terminated. I have an ADSL connection and use the Windows XP firewall, the other end is a 56K modem also with XP firewall. We have tried turning both firewalls off without success. Is there any diagnostics I can turn on, or any clues as to why it might not work. I have communicated with other modem users successfully in the past. . |

Hi Richard,
Yes, ZoneAlarm is well known for blocking voice/video when it's supposedly "disabled". ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Richard Abraham" wrote in message ...

Greetings Brian,
How exactly is it "not working"? If you go through the Audio (and Video) Tuning Wizard, are you able to go through the wizard without any errors? If you are seeing an error, what is it? I'm not quite sure what you mean by your camera working AIM -- I wasn't aware AIM had any video support. Keep in mind most of these issues are related to either drivers (which would be a Logitech problem) or networks on either your side (or your contacts), both of which aren't related to Microsoft. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Brian Hartman Photography" wrote in message ... I just installed a Logitech Clicksmart 420 camera and could not get it to work with Windows messenger or MSN messenger. I've read thru these posts and others and it seems that alot of people are having similar problems. Like others, my camera works ok in other applications such as aol aim. Sounds like video chat problem with the messenger products. That is , they don't do what they are advertised to do. As users, a.k.a. paying customers, it's not our job to hack the problems. How about Microsoft fix the problem for us. If anybody knows how to make video chat function work let me know. "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...

I am also having this same problem. We both have MSN messenger 4.7 and the same Logitech camera. I have a modem and he has DSL. I haven't figured it out yet. But if you get any clues let me know. -----Original Message----- Trying to connect to another Windows XP user. We both have Messenger 4.7.
