Hi,
I installed a Webcam onto a friend’s computer so she could see her boyfriend who’s working outside the country… but that’s not the point really.
So, I’ve also installed MSN Messenger 6.2. The camera is a Labtec Webcam and the computer is running XP Pro with all the patches and fixes but SP2 (I’m not totally convinced to install it yet!). Oh yes! There is no firewall and no router.
Here’s the problem. If I use the software that came with the camera, everything works fine. I can take snap shots, record… But if I try to make a video conference in MSN Messenger, or if I try to set parameters for the webcam, right after I get the little green window (actually, when I’m supposed to get an image), the computer goes crazy ! I get the blue screen and BAM! It reboots. Not even a second to see what’s written.
Did anyone ever got that type of problem?
Yeah I had that problem, actually still do. Me and my sister both have the same laptops and both use a wireless broadband internet connection. We have the same OS (windows xp) and all the same software. But the webcam works fine on her comp, but not on mine, when I start to use it it crashes. I do virus checks so I know its not down to this, never been able to fix this problem though, so I ionly use cam over yahoo – with no problems I maight add!
