No Video on WEBCAM with Messenger
I have just installed the Creative WEBCAM NX on my system
and my son's. We both have XP and Messenger 5.0. When we open a Video session in Messenger we do not transmit any video. The cameras both are working. Is there any special setup parameters to setup in Messenger? Norm |

No Video on WEBCAM with Messenger
Greetings Norm,
You'll need to go through the Audio/Video Tuning Wizard in order to select the cameras (for Messenger to recognize them). To do so, open up the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Audio Tuning Wizard (it does video too). If you still experience problems, are you able to establish two-way voice conversations? ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Norm" wrote in message ...

Jonathon,
Both my son and I have done the Tuning wizard. We both get a good video, audio amd mic test during the tuning process. We can message via the keyboard but no audio or video. When either of us initiates the video conversation it sends the call ok. When either one of us accepts the call we both get a black and white ghost image of the messenger icon in the left side of the video window. We are both accessing the Internet vis Bellsouth DSL and a Linksys Router. The internal IPs are 192.168.x.x and I believe Bellsouth is dynamic. We both are using email addresses from Netidentity and not our ISP address. Thanks.

Jonathan,
We have been doing some more playing and it appears that when either one of us sends back an acceptance it does not notify back and the person initiating sits there waiting for the acceptance. After the acceptance has been made there is only one way text messaging working. The one who initiates the video call can send text messages to the one who accepted the invitation but he can not send text back. I am stumped. Thanks.

Jonathon,
I could not get it resolved so I installed MSN Messenger 6. After installing MSN Messenger Audio and video worked like a charm. Do not know what the issue is with Windows Messenger.

in your Linksys router, you have to turn on UPnP in order for MSN
Messenger audio/video to work. "Norm" wrote in message ... Jonathon, Both my son and I have done the Tuning wizard. We both get a good video, audio amd mic test during the tuning process.
