Windows 2000 & webcams

[Vitali Fomine]

We have a lot of Windows 2000 pc's, and we would like to use webcams with
them too, but i saw that Messenger 5.0 does not support webcams under
Windows 2000 :-(

Greetings Vitali,

This is correct, you'll need to either use Netmeeting or use MSN Messenger 6.x instead. Of
course, if you're using Live Communications Server, you have to use Windows Messenger 5, so
Netmeeting is the only option. To enable the 'Start Netmeeting' option in Windows Messenger
5, download and run this .reg file:

(if Windows Messenger is running, you'll need to restart it to see the option)
