O.P. webcam and messenger 7
hrmf.. hopefully this will be my last question :mipdodgy:

I searched for a little and couldnt find anything about this so not sure if there is already a thread. I hope not :-/

But yeah.. when I use my webcam with msn messenger 6.2, it works fine and all but when I use 7, it freezes about a minute after I opened it. It did this when I got 7 a while ago so I went back to 6.2 and I wanted to give it a try again but it still gives me that bug.. well not even sure if its really a bug. I know I dont have the greatest computer but would it be my computer that causes this? Cuz using 7 lags a little :-/ Or is it something else? *-) Cus others can use their cam fine even with 7..

RE: webcam and messenger 7
the only problem i ever had was that msn beta didn't want to recognize that i have a webcam :undecided:

but here is some stuff that might help u hopefully...

try to see if there are any driver updates for your webcam. go to the official site and check there..

if you have windows XP -> you have service pack 2 right? ..also get the newest directx
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...197&displaylang=en

something stupid but meh - try to install the webcam again after you already instal msn 7 onto u'r computer. :S

Umm that happens to me too but I'm using 6.2. I tried re-installing 7.0 because that's what I was using originally but it just freezes the minute i open up a conversation. And with 6.2, I can't transfer any files or anything - again it just freezes :S
