Greetings all,
Ok, this is weird for me so I’m hoping someone can help.
I’ve been chating with a friend in Belgium, I’m curently in California we have no problem writting to each other, however when we go on voice conversation, only the person who 1rst asked for it, has a working mic. Everything is good on my side, video and audio. On her side for some reason Messenger always says’ her Mic is occupied somewhere else. However when she asks for a conversation I hear her fine but she can’t hear me.
I’m thinking it’s a problem on her side and walked her threw to make sure she can use the mic to record with the basic window program “sound recorder”, she can.
Also she does have a cable connection and I, only a 56kb modem one.
Don’t know what else to tell you.
Hope somebody can help me, it’s driving us crazy not to be able to talk to each other both ways.Thanx in advance,

I think I have noticed some incompatibility of sorts when not using the same version of messenger and windows.December 7, 2002 at 4:58 pm #65888sciencefeelingMemberI had the same problem before, on my old computer. Looks like the problem is of the other person, his/her audio configuration. If the computer is very old, the audio card might not support both ways comunication. Some old audio cards are in conflict with the audio settings of MSN. That will normally give the type of error message you talk about.
Go to the audio settings configuration and see if it says something about the card (old versions do, i tried to look that for u, but my current version does not say anything about it, though i remember in the old one i could see the card that it was using).
If the computer is kinda new then that should not be the problem.
Ask that person to make sure that the other messengers are signed off completely…
As I said, I had the same problem, I went to the audio configurations and it gave me two options of cards I chose the best one, restart, and it worked….I hope I rememberd better the steps, but I don’t (that is what happens when you fix something without knowing exactly how you did it).
I am sorry if this answer is not very accurate…I tryed to find what I did back then but I forgot.

By the way if Xerraire looks at this, I am from Spain and studied in Barna…December 7, 2002 at 7:32 pm #65890freemen2MemberThanx for your posts,
I fixed the problem by having us download netmeeting.
The problem is that her card his unable to have full-duplex so Messenger wasn’t being very acomodating. Netmeeting has a half duplex option.
Xerraire, both had win98se, no comments please 😉 and the latest messenger version. Nice Site, simple, informative and quick to navigate. Life watercolors aren’t really my thing but I did like your little girl reading books 🙂
Gracias, sciencefeeling.December 8, 2002 at 4:07 pm #65886xerraireMemberSciencefeeling, then you know what “xerraire” means, hehe
I am from US, but I lived in Sabadell for awhile, and I loved Barcelona.
Where are you in Spain?Freemen, thanks for taking a peak at my site!
