Detailed Problem Description:
A. I just installed the driver for it yesterday. When i opened Creative
WebCam Centre,
it has no problem.. i can record/capture my picture. The problem comes
when i wanted
to chat online (using window MSN) with my colleagues using the webcam.
They cannot
see me. There is an option under the camera screen, which says 1. Stop
Sending
Video; 2. Show My Video as Picture-in-Picture. in which #1 option is
ticked and i cannot
untick it or tick option #2. It’s sort of disabled.
B. Another problem is, whenever i invite someone to have a video and
voice
conversation, and they’ve accepted it, it suddenly closes the
conversation, and says
The camera is in use. Please close any programs using video, an try
again.
C. In Windows Messenger, there is a tool Audio Tuning wizard, when i
tried to test the
camera, it says, camera error. The camera you selected is not working
properly, or
may be in use by another program. The funny thing is, it detects me when
using the
CreativeWebCam Centre, and no application is opened while i was doing
the Video
Tuning Wizard. Can anyone help me out?
i think the problem is with your drivers, for the 3 questions. i own a creative live, and i had no problems instaling it. uninstall it under control panel -> system -> hardware -> devices and under control panel -> add remove programs, thun unplug it, and reinstall it. be sure to only plug it AFTER you install the driver. in my case, i’ve been asked to.

But i can capture/record video/picture using the application given. It only doesn’t work when using MSN. Is it still bcoz of the driver? I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing it back twice.. but then..maybe i left a ew steps behind,,just give it a try
