hi
my problem is nt really that bad just annoyin …wen i start a webcam conversation with any of my contacts were i can normally see myself in my display the pictue is just black my contacts can see me tho and the webcam works fine on other programs ,if i open and close my display picture i can briefly see my self then it goes black again….anyone else come across this:(msn messenger 6.0
win98se
logitech messenger webcam
nvidia geforce 4mx440 graphics card
creative audigy sound cardany help would be apprieciated:D
have you tested the webcam with other programs? if so, what were the results?
can you view other peoples’ webcams?the cam works fine on other programs and i can view other ppls cams ..its just annoyin that the full feature of seein myself dosent seem to work…….wat can i say i like to look at myself:p
I guess a little mirror to stick on your monitor won’t work 😉
When you run the Web Camera Settings option (Tools > Web Camera Options) does it show the webcam’s images correctly, or is the image black there too? The same question goes for when you try the Audio/Video Tuning Wizard.ive done the webcam settins and its just gray no image,,just remembered that when i installed the webcam it asked me to insert my windows 98se disc part way thru then while copyin from disk a window came up sayin ‘file bieng copied is older than the current file do u want to keep this file?’ of which i clicked yes to, this message appeared bout 3 time for different files, could that be the problem. i cant remember wat the file names were tho.
It seems that somehow the cam isn’t installed correctly for it to work with MSN Messenger 6.
What you could try, if you feel up to it, is to uninstall the webcam software and the webcam itself and then reinstalling the webcam. Let Windows use the older files once and see if the webcam will then work for you. If it doesn’t make any change, at least you know it’s not because of a problem during installation.Also make sure you have the latest DirectX version for your version of Windows installed (http://www.microsoft.com/directx/), as well as the latest webcam software from logitech (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=downloads/software&CRID=1794&contentid=6361&OSID=5&countryid=12&languageid=1)
