others cant see my camera by korgem1 on 06-06-2009 at 11:22 PM

hello everyone,
i have just bought myself a new laptop with a built in webcamera and when i try to use it on msn, i can send an invite (and others can request 1) it accepts on and starts to load but as soon as the picture is about to come up, it cancels out and msn says in the chat window "the webcam session had ended" like it was canceled manually

the laptop i have with the built in camera is the Samsung NC10. if anyone has had this problem with either this laptop or any other laptop with a built in camera and has mannaged to sonve this problem. then any help i could get would b greatly greatly apreciated

yours kindly

Jay :)

Perhaps you could make sure that Messenger has your webcam configured correctly.
In a conversation window, go to Tools > Audio and video setup... (if the Tools menu is not visible, press Alt on your keyboard and it should appear) and go through the wizard.
