my web cam works. when i use the programs that come with my web cam to
record video clips it works perfectly fine.

but when i use MSN to video conference with someone... after i inite the
person to view my webcam... all that is transmitted is the static screen
(like when a television is not tuned to a broadcasting station)

i have tried 2 different webcams and both have the same results. anyone
knows how to solve this???

Thanks a million...

Greetings Sam,

It sounds like Messenger is grabbing the wrong video input. You may simply need to select
the correct input by clicking the Tools menu, then choosing Audio/Video Tuning Wizard and
then going through the wizard.
