MSN 7.5 webcam problem in XP (webcam in use, but isnt)
Posted by JW Veldhuis on October 16th, 2005


Hello,

(sorry for multi-posting in two messenger newsgroups, but discovered that
this newsgroup is covering XP-issues)

i bought a (cheap) webcam 2 weeks ago. It works with other software (like
photoshop), and also with a simple videorecording application that came with
the cam.

The problem that MSN thinks my cam is in use, and refuses to select the cam.
Sometimes MSN crashes when i go to the config-dialog.

I searched this newsgroup, and tried everything. I discovered that the cam
does work in Windows messenger (i can at least select the cam and see video
in the config dialog), so there must be something wrong with MSN.

Can somebody help me out? I bought the webcam to videochat with MSN..

Thanks in advance!

Jan-Willem
