    - Webcam/Audio Communication Could someone please indicate if it is possible to establish an audio connection using MSN when one computer has a webcam but the other only has a microphone? Is it possible for the mic end to see and hear the webcam end? Regards, Dave Edwards Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41841

    - Audio Breaking Up In One Direction I am a new user of MSN Messenger and have managed to establish an audio connection with a friend. The problem is that while my audio sounds OK to him, his audio keeps cutting in and out on my computer. Both microphones seem OK when tested on their own computers. Could anyone please suggest a solution to this problem or perhaps indicate where I might begin looking to find a solution? Regards, Dave Edwards Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41840

    - WebCam help req'd ... Hello, I recently purchased a Fuji FinePix 2650 digital camera in the hope that it would funtion as both a camera and a web cam. Unfortunately, the latter isn't happening! Windows has no problem in detecting that i have a camera, however it detects it as a storage medie (i now get a g:\ drive) when in PC USB mode. To use as a webcam, i'm told to put in PC USB mode. Again it is detected but when opening MSN Messenger 6.1 it does not recognise my cam. It says "you cannot change your cam settings ... because cam is not plugged in or is being used in vid conversation with another program". The thing is, the cam can be seen with netmeeting no probs but i'd rather have it going thru the MSN!! P.S. i run win 9.8 Any help is much appreciated, Cheers Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41830

    - Johnathon - Webcam I go through the audio tuning wizard as you advised (copied below), but when i complete and select web camera settings, it does not pick up anything. I have no other applications open, please could you advise a solution. "There are two video features in MSN Messenger 6 (under Windows XP), the 'Webcam' feature, which is a logitech-made component that primary will only work with actual webcams (that is, USB-based, single-function webcams) and the 'Video Conference' feature, which will work with a multitude of devices (DV cameras, video card inputs, etc.). In order to use your DV camera, you'll first need to go through the Audio/Video Tuning Wizard in MSN Messenger 6.1 by clicking the Tools menu, then Audio/Video Tuning Wizard, then opening a conversation window and choosing the Actions menu, then 'Start Video Conference'. Keep in mind that the Video Conference feature is only available for Windows XP clients and both sides will need to be using Windows XP." Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41824

    - One way videoconference I'm able to videoconference in only one direction. User A can see himself and send video and audio to User B, but nothing is received. User B can receive video and audio, and see herself. My question is this: Since things work well in one direction, which user's setup is likely to be causing the problem, A or B. I'd like to narrow things down. Thanks. User A; Windows XP Home, Linksys BEFSX41 (firmware upgraded), uPnP enabled on router, ICF is off. User B; Windows XP Pro, Linksys BEFSR41 (firmware upgraded), uPnP enabled on router, ICF is off. Both have recent Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger versions. Audio and Video tuning wizard done without problem on both systems. Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41818

I can get into it and change things, but once I click 'save' a message appears saying Sorry, the MSN Member Directory feature you were requesting is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to try back later. And it only seems to be happening on my account. I would really appreciate it if this problem could be fixed.

    - Incorrect display of mobile capabilities in MSN 6.1 Greetings. I run MSN Messenger 6.1.0203 on Windows XP Pro 5.1.2600 SP1a and have been experiencing problems with the way Messenger displays to others the ability of my account to forward text messages on a mobile phone when I'm offline. Contacts sometimes have this option (when my offline avatar shows a little black handset) and then, at other times, it's unavailable (my offline avatar simply shows that I'm offline). The opposite is also true. Contacts that I know have enabled the option to allow others to send text messages on their mobile device will randomly display this ability. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Is this a client or servers-side problem? I'm an MSN subscriber and have attempted to contact Microsoft Network about this, but to no avail (I hope someone from MSN reads this - their customer service has not been impressive lately - my four online service requests have remained unanswered). Any input would be appreciated. Thx. Nicolas Harnois Montreal, Canada Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41799

    - No audio with Messenger 6.1 Hi everybody, I run Windows XP Home Edition, with PC-Cillin for firewall. Like everybody, everything was working fine until I updated to v.6.1... since then, no audio. Basically, Messenger does not manage to connecte to the other PC. What's very frustrating is that I had many friends and family install v.6.1 recently, and it worked fine for everybody BUT me!!! Very frustrating I must admit! Yesterday, I spent some time reading this Newsgroup, and here is what I tried so far: - unchecking the Qos Packet Scheduler (actually, I had to uninstall it on my PC; the box was grayed out and I could not uncheck it). - I switched the UPnP and the SSDP to Automatic - I also tried to open all ports from 5004 to 65535 (eventhough some of those are used by Trojan...) - I turned off the Windows ICF Well, I do not know what to do anymore... If anybody can help, I would really appreciate!! Thanks Arnaud . Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41798

    - Messenger loses pictures Hi, MSN Messenger is not keeping the "Display Picture" when we change it from the default to a custom icon. It stays selected and visible once it's been chosen, but if you shut down Messenger and re-start it, or after a re-boot, the picture defaults to one of the supplied versions. Any ideas?

If I right-click on a person's name and select 'properties', it takes an incredibly long time for the properties to appear. I've heard from a few people that they 't received my email messages.

    - MSN Messenger and Webcam. What is wrong? Hello I am, like other people here in the newsgroup, having problems with the webcam feature of MSN Messenger. The problem I have is the same: I can see myself when I use the tunig tool but not when using Messenger. It really annoys me because it is brand new camera (Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000) and when I bought the camera it said, on the package in big letters, that it is suitable for MSN Messenger. That was the main reason why I bought it. So what is wrong? After all, the camera works with Yahoo!Messenger and other programs... Thanks in advance for any advice!

    - MSN Messenger 6.1 loses some messages in a conversation Hi there, Has anyone experienced a problem where the other person/people in a conversation will not receive some of the messages you type? Also vice versa. I find this has been happening intermittently lately, and is very frustrating because it leads to long awkward silences when you've typed something but it hasnt reached the other person. Is this a known problem with Messenger, and if so, is there some solution? Or could it be dependent on my network settings somehow? Thanks, Michael Bednarek michael@irt.org Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41708

    - Webcam Problems Whenever I try to open my webcam in Messenger, it says my digital camcorder is already in use, and cancels the startup of webcam. I am not using it for any other programs, why is it telling me this, and how can i prevent it? (MSN Messenger 6.0, Windows XP) I was able to use my Digital Cam connected via firewire perfectly until I downloaded an automatic windows update after which I know experience the same problem as you. If I set it up through the audio tuning wizard in Messengar it picks up the camera ok, but if I select web camera settings it comes up with the message that its either not connected or being used in another progam when it isn't. any idea's on progressin a solution?????

When I initiate the sign in process it says my password is incorrect or my account dosent exist. I press Retry, put in my password and still no go. The only way it signs in is if I select 'sign in as', leave the email address as is (my .net account) and enter my password. This has been the only way. Now a new problem, When I click Go to my Inbox I takes me to Outlook (on exchange system). I want it to go to my hotmail account. Greg . Tag: messenger & exchange Tag: 41705

Greetings Kathy,

Yes, Windows Messenger 5 is now the client used to connect to the .NET Messenger network and
Exchange at the same time. Are you sure you downloaded Windows Messenger 5 (as opposed to
MSN Messenger)?

Here's the link to be sure:
