After printing that PDF, it looks to me like they used low quality bitmaps for all lines, which end up extremely ugly when printed. Your best bet would be to open the PDF in a program such as Adobe Illustrator (that’s possible because the PDF doesn’t have any security restrictions) and recreate the grids, boxes and lines there using the pen tools on a new layer.
I think this is a question that will get a (hopefully) working solution in response if asked to MSN Messenger’s support: http://support.msn.com/contactus_emailsupport.aspx?productkey=MESSENGER&ct=eformfree
I’ve been involved with IMVU since the closed beta days, and the scepsis I see online does make sense in a way, but unless you’ve tried it a few times, and see what it can add to a chat, you shouldn’t judge it.
Sure, there are, and will always be people who will prefer plain text chat. But there are many more who like fancy looking windows and features. IMVU is extremely easy to use, and as an end-user, you don’t have to worry about the money it might cost, because you don’t have to spend a single cent on it. All you’ll do is chat in an environment you like, with one or more people who you can actually see.
Okay, so the avatars won’t look like the people you’re chatting with. But that’s what webcam chats are for. It’s simply fun, and when you’re having a chat with a friend, isn’t having fun part of what the whole chat experience is about?
I wouldn’t advise using a digital camera as a webcam. They’re simply not made for that job. But, it just happens we have a Finepix s7000 as well, so if you want, I could attempt getting it working as a webcam on my computer next weekend and let you know what I find out.
If you know what program you can’t uninstall, you could try installing it again, and then uninstalling it. Other than that, you could delete the files yourself and then go into the registry and attempt to delete everything related to logitech from there.
Can you compare apples and oranges? Well yes you can, but you shouldn’t compare them for what you use each for. Same with webcams vs. digital photo cameras. They’re not meant to be used for functions of the other, so you shouldn’t judge them on that.
Webcams have a still image capture option because people wanted it. The images are meant as snapshots, which you quickly email or put on a site, and both those options require(d) small images, which in turn means lower quality thanks to compression and other factors.I’m positive the quality (both for still images and for webcam “moving” images) will increase over time, as digital camera technology gets cheaper and thus more interesting for webcams. But, at the same time the technology for digital cameras will advance more and more as well, and therefore will always stay ahead of webcams in terms of quality.
If you really want high quality pictures, do what Jeff did, and get yourself a real digital camera. They’re not very expensive anymore (even the 4MP and 5MP cameras are affordable nowadays).http://webmessenger.msn.com works just fine, though they do warn that you might not be able to log in as they limit the number of simultaneous users. I haven’t tried it though, so I’m only talking about the page, not the service 😉

Nothin against Logitech, but this one had a larger still image shot. So we’ll see how it goes and if I don’t like it I’ll take it back.
The Logitech QC 4000 Pro has a megapixel still image option. It works great in almost all light settings, and if the light does affect the image quality too badly there are a few settings you can change to get a better image.
I’d never go for anything other than logitech, simply because it’s too easy to use with every piece of software, plus I know what quality I’m getting. Creative might be equally good, but my personal choice is still logitech, and it will be until I run into a bad logitech product.
f0rbez, if you can, please post back here when you have the cam to show a few sample pictures and perhaps write a small review of the cam? It’ll be useful for others in the future.
Laxa, did you have to install any drivers? If so, did you check the fuji website to make sure you have the latest version of the drivers?
Also compatibility with the software you want to run the camera on is important. Not all webcams (espcially ones that aren’t “branded webcams”) will work flawlessly with the various programs.Now for the big question: is there a patch that’ll let me resize the main window again? I only have 6 people on YIM (don’t ask) and the window’s just way too big. I had one for the last version, but it won’t run on this one 🙁
Have you tried contacting MSN Messenger support about this? It’s possible that your webcam isn’t supported by MSN Messenger’s webcam feature.
Also, it would help if you gave the exact error message(s) you get whenever you ask for help, whether it’s here, at MSN support form, or anywhere else. It makes troubleshooting a bit easier 🙂I’ve had Yahoo IM freeze up when I tried using the same webcam as yours. There might just be an issue between Yahoo IM and the QuickCam Pro 3000, but I never bothered contacting Yahoo about it since it’s easier to just use MSN Messenger, which almost everyone I chat with uses anyway.
If switching to MSN Messenger isn’t an option, I can’t do anything but suggest you try contacting Yahoo’s support and see if they have an answer as to why their messenger’s webcam function won’t work with your webcam.
Try rebooting. When Windows is done starting up again, close all unnecessary programs and processes (don’t turn your firewall off!) and then run the Audio/Video wizard. I can’t garantuee that that’ll work, but it’s worth a try.
It won’t really be a console from what I’ve read. It’ll be a handheld with two LCD monitors placed above one another, one being for the actual game, the other for extra information (example: close ups of the playing field). Because of these two monitors, it’s called the Nintendo DS. DS stands for Dual-Screen.
It’ll also have two processors (one with an ARM9-core, and one with an ARM7-core which is in the current GBA and GBA SP) and it’s supposed to have 1 Gigabit (128MB) internal memory.Read http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/68/35011.html and http://www.1up.com/article2/0,4364,1454490,00.asp for more info.
Oh, and my ISP’s article about the Nintendo DS has a link to an old Donkey Kong II game that gives an idea of what two screens might look like: http://www.ggdb.com/GGDB/DetailsZoom.asp?Cat=All.Handheld.GameWatch.Multiscreen&VID=5801&PID=1390&NID=1&TID=GameQuote:quote:Originally posted by theone2806ples tell me how to do it so i can get even 😡
thx anywaysAs I said in your other topic about this: if by “getting even” you’re thinking about doing the same as you suspect that other person is doing, you should really think it over a couple more times as it’s illegal to invade someone’s privacy like that.
Try installing a firewall that logs all incoming and outgoing connections to your computer. Check them frequently to see if you can find anything strange, like someone connecting to your computer while it shouldn’t. Use that computer’s IP address for a trace to get the ISP information for that IP address. Then report that IP address, including your story and the log files to the abuse address of the ISP. That’s the best (legal) you can do aside from making sure nobody can get into your computer in the first place.
