webcams that do not work
Does anyone know if there is a list anywhere of webcams that do not work
with Messenger and/or Win XP? My Dad bought a Chicony webcam and cannot get it to work. Don't know if its the cam or a compatibility problem. Thanks, John |

webcams that do not work
Greetings John,
Generally speaking, the non-brand names have problems. However, before you blame the camera, is he able to go through the Audio/Video Tuning Wizard (open up the main Messenger window, click Tools then Audio Tuning Wizard to get there)? ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "John" wrote in message ...

Hello Jonathan,
thanks for your reply. When he goes to the audio tuning wizard, it says the webcam is not available. He has installed the webcam correctly as far as I know. Anything else to try? John |
