Webcam problem by mentinel on 08-16-2006 at 08:46 PM

Hello

I have a problem with the webcam. This may sound a bit crazy but its like this.

I have sended a invitation so that someone could watch me on the webcam, but he/she didnt get a invitation.

When she tried to send me a invitation with the webcam i didnt get it as well. And i dont know what the problem is.

I tested my webcam and it works (my webcam is Logitech Fusion and its just new)

I tried to install older msn version and it still doenst work

So could someone help me? :S

Don't you get any sort of error message, or does your Messenger simply say "An invitation has been sent..."? You don't mention whether you've tried streaming webcam video to other contacts. For starters you could try this and possibly narrow down the problem to something having to do with your friend's software/configuration.

Yay! I'm a Senior member! :banana:

Ahh sorry

Ehmm let me explain it a bit better.

I got this problem 2-3 days ago. Before it worked very well.
The problem is that when i invite someone to see me on the webcam, he doenst get this message "  You have ....... invited to look with the webcam to start . You can wait for a reaction or cancel the active invitation (Alt+Q)".
This is also when that person tries to invite me.
But tis wierd because i got this problem with only 1 person.
I have tried with other persons and it worked well.

I also tried to test my webcam and it worked good.

So i dont know what the problem could be.

Could you maybe help?

It sounds like the invite is being lost between you and the contact i.e. on the servers somewhere.


RE: Webcam problem by mentinel on 08-17-2006 at 10:55 AM

Yes its very wierd.
Because i have tried to reinstall msn live. I have deleted msn live and tried to install msn 7.5. But it all didnt work.
Maybe its just because I live in Netherlands and she in France?

Maybe someone has a idea how to help this?

If you got this problem with only 1 person, I think you don't need to search more... Ask her to reinstall messenger to see what appens next. This is the first thing I would do. ;)


RE: Webcam problem by mentinel on 08-17-2006 at 11:18 AM

ok thanks man :D

I will do ;)


RE: Webcam problem by Lio102 on 08-17-2006 at 11:23 AM

By the way, chech if she's not using a too old MSN version...


RE: Webcam problem by mentinel on 08-17-2006 at 11:47 AM

no she said she was using msn live. Just like me.

But does it matter if i have msn live plus and she has msn live>?

And could it maybe be the problem of firewall?


RE: Webcam problem by Lio102 on 08-17-2006 at 12:03 PM

No it doen't matter if she hasn't got plus.
But for the firewall, yes I think it can cause the problem...

Plus! (including Plus! Live) are add-ons to Messenger (which includes Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger), which means they add to the Messenger program, but not an entirely new Messenger software. In other words, you are acutally using Windows Live Messenger (the actual name of msn live) with Messenger Plus! Live installed.

Think of it like changing parts to a car. The parts itself cannot work unless its attached to the rest of the car.

I have also obtained this problem before....but it solved on its own. Try restarting both computers and re-plug in both webcams.

If it's working with everyone else, it's a problem on her end. She need to look for support, not you. =p


RE: Webcam problem by joemailey on 08-18-2006 at 09:02 AM

Happens to me Quiet often, Sometimes a simple Signing in and out of you and your friend fix the problem.

Sometimes its due to Server Issue on M$'s side.
Like last time it happened to me it was around the time when people weren't allowed to sign in(contacts list can't be achieved and stuff). That was few weeks back.

So not really your problem. It M$'s fault. Sometimes your invite will get throught and contact accepts it but on your side still looks like your waiting for them to accept and nothing happens.

Thank you very much
