when start the problem (what happened in that time, you installed a firewall,antivirus,etc or another thing)? RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by delta101 on 04-14-2007 at 11:49 PM Thanks Panachiba I think my sister may have downloaded Avast firewall a few days ago. An I already have Mozilla Firewall and used to view my contact"s webcam fine before. My question is how do I remove Avast. ( should I right click on it?) When I do that a red symbol appears but it those not exit. RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by Supersonicdarky on 04-14-2007 at 11:58 PM mozilla firewall? did you mean firefox? RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by MattyRid on 04-14-2007 at 11:58 PM Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs is the best way to remove programs, unless instructed to do it another way. RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by delta101 on 04-15-2007 at 12:12 AM Oh yes Mozilla Firefox RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by rumble on 04-22-2007 at 04:10 PM I have same problem with windows live messenger. I can't see nobodys' webcam. I uninstalled wlm and installed msn 7.5, then anything worked fine. But what should i do with WLM ??? RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by delta101 on 04-22-2007 at 11:54 PM just uninstall WLM since msn 7.5 is working fine, I just installed msn 7.5 an uninstalled WLM!!! RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by delta101 on 04-23-2007 at 11:29 PM rumble thanks a million for telling me to download MSN 7.5 I am now after months seeing my contacts on their Webcam!!! RE: Cannot view my contact"s webcam!!! by rumble on 04-24-2007 at 07:38 PM I figured out that webcam works fine on WLM 8.0.0812, but not in wlm 8.1, so in the latest wlm might be some bugs.

quote: That's not exactly the problem, but somebody can follow these steps and tell me if they worked: - Determine what version of Windows Live Messenger is installed on the computer, and then upgrade if it is required. - Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com, click "Scan for Updates," and then make sure that you and your contact have installed the latest updates to the Microsoft Windows operating system on your computers. - Make sure that you and your contact has the latest version of DirectX installed. - Make sure that the correct video source for Windows Live Messenger is selected, and make sure that you can view your image in the Audio-Video Tuning Wizard or in Web Camera settings. - Unplug any devices that are not required for a web cam conversation. - Make sure that you and your contact have a dial-up, cable, or DSL Internet connection with a speed of 56 kilobits per second (Kbps) or faster. - If you are using a router, make sure that you have the latest firmware installed. - If your computer is connected to a router or a NAT device that is a UPnP device, clear port forwarding. - Make sure that the ports are required for a Windows Live Messenger web cam conversation are open. - Your issue is the Internet service provider (ISP) or a firewall is not allowing access to the ports that are required for web cam communication or there are issues with a network address translation (NAT) device, a router, or a home networking device |
