Question fo MVP

[Eugene]

Unfortunately nobody answered the question I posted. I do
not want to throw out webcamand and ask you to help me..
Recently I bought Alaris Parallel port Web camera.
I downloaded windows XP driver and installed it and video
software w/out any problems. When I open Alaris Video
Creator my Web Camera works fine and I can record *.avi
files. Windows Media Player plays these files w/out any
problems. Yahoo Messenger and DK Messenger work fine as
well. Friends of mine can not use these English programs
and Poblem comes when I use Windowes Messenger
(5.0) or MSN messenger (6.1). When I open messenger and
adjust video I can see picture and when I open it
second time I do not see picture (just bold square) and
messenger frozes. This happen to both of messengers. The
same happen when I connect to somebody. At first
connection they see and hear me and I see them as well
but I can not hear them because of noice and in a while
my picture froze and I can se and hear them. After second
connection I see and hear them but they can not see me
(just bold screen). I do not think that MICROSOFT's
product worse than others and I am sure I did not adjust
system properly. I will be grateful for any advise.
Thanks, Eugene

Have been having having similar problems with 2 different cameras, both work
fine on everything except MSN Mess 6.1. From what I can tell it's not driver
or firewall related but something specifically to do with MSN 6.1 - Will
keep you posted on any developments.
