Hi All,
I guess noone had any ideas. Well here is an udate as to what I have
found will work although not the most desirable way.
By establishing a voice conversation and talking for a moment, then
click on the "Start web cam" icon (Webcam under the display picture)
the camera starts up and a video and voice conversation can take place.
I should add that the end in trouble uses XPPro SP2 with the Windows
firewall disabled (service on disable). MSN messenger was added before
the establishment of 4 users (3 restricted and 1 admin.) but never
tested It has subsequently been uninstalled and then reinstalled to no
avail by the admin user .
Any ideas??
TIA
