Why install msn messenger at all,its really for msn explorer,a dial-up isp. Windows messenger for xp,version 4.7 already does all that.

I prefer MSN Messenger because it offers more features than Windows Messenger. It has a more colorful interface, lets me choose to show an image of myself and see images of others, lets me choose different backgrounds and more. While Windows Messenger is a fully functional messaging program, MSN Messenger has more options.

I have just installed ver 7 of messenger and followed install guide as per Joli. When i do the mic check only a small (about1/10) of the vertical column shows green - no other colour. I have a SITECOM voicecam which plugs into a usb port (i have older usb ver 1.0). I tried a video message with rel in US and we both had video and i could hear him talking but he could not hear me. The small bars to the rhs of his video image showed green but mine had no colour. Can anyone help please.

John, I've searched for a bit here and have not found anything that resembles your particular problem with your particular Sitecom Voicecam. However, Sitecom does have a support page, where you can type a question and get an email answer. This might be a good place to start. http://www.sitecom.com/support2.php Perhaps you also should double check your settings in Control Panel>Sounds and Audio. Make sure under the Audio tab and Voice tab that the sliders are all the way up for your input device. Check the Advanced properties for each too. From the Hardware tab, you can troubleshoot any device as well. I'm not sure if any of this will work, and some may say that it has to do with your older USB 1.0 device, but I can't find anything about that anywhere. See if the previous tips help, and let me know. I'll keep an eye on this thread. Joli "John Nic" wrote: > I have just installed ver 7 of messenger and followed install guide as per > Joli.

I researched and found the in order for both parties to speak at the same time , you need a FULL DUPLEX sound card. Half duplex sound cards will let either you or the other party talk , but, not at the same time. I'm trying to find where, if or how I can upgrade (if I have to) my sound card, its hard enough finding out which one I had, never mind finding out if its full duplex of half. Good luck "John Nic" wrote: > I have just installed ver 7 of messenger and followed install guide as per > Joli.

Need help trying to get MSN Messenger to recognize my Polycom ViaVideo. My Windows XP recognizes it and I'm using it for other purposes. Any clues to get it as an option in setup? If not, where can I get help for this?

Hi I would like to use my Sony Handycam DCRHC40 as a webcam with MSN Messenger. I have got the video working but can't get voice via the handycam's internal mic. Do I have to buy a separate mic?

I have just set up a Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP camera, downloaded MSN Messenger and am having problems starting a video conversation. Once I have messenger up and running and select the video conversation I get a system error message "Messenger has encountered a problem and needs to close. Any ideas? Of course the rest of the message is to tell Microsoft about the problem which I always elect to "Don't send." My system is Windows XP Multi Media. Thanks for the help.

Joli I am trying to have a video conversation in Windows Live Messenger. I have Windows XP with Media Center. When I try to send my webcam to my contact, the video feed is from my cable tv, not my webcam. I can see and hear my contact but all they see is my cable tv. Do you have any idea how I can resolve this? Thank you. -- Michelle "Katie Skibinski" wrote: > New Column: How to have a video conversation with MSN Messenger > > Columnist Joli Ballew explains how to install MSN Messenger, set up a webcam > and microphone, and have video conversations. > > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/windowsmessenger/ballew_video.mspx > > Ask questions or post comments about the article here. > > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. > > -- > Katie Skibinski > Site manager, vendor [MS] >> Stay informed about: Column: How to have a video conversation with MSN Messenger

I have the latest MSN Messenger. Got a new webcam. It seems to be working great. Went through all the set-up for it, but when I invite my sister to view it, it just keeps loading and then stops. She also has the latest MSN Messenger. How can I get my webcam to work on the other end?

It's weird, cuz I tried it out with another contact and he received it just fine. Makes me wonder if it's something with my sisters computer? Does it do it with all your contacts? All I got for an answer was the same article that I had already read about installing and setting up the webcam and msn messenger. So it wasn't really any help.
