Hello everyone, handy forum here!

Got a webcam for xmas, so decided to have a video conversation with my mate. I had installed the drivers and everything but when the connection between me and my mate established MSN Messenger froze and my Internet disconected!
So i went out and bought a Logitech webcam from PC world today, a different webcam than what i used before. I installed its drivers and done what it said in the manual! Got onto MSN messenger again and the same thing happens! The pictures comes up for 2 seconds or so then freezes. Then MSN freezes and then my whole internet connection Disconetcs!
It isnt the version of MSN im using because ive downloaded messenger 6, 7.0, 7.5 and even 8.0 live and the problem happens on all of them versions! Has anyone else had this problem? and is there a easy way to solve it?
O yeah, and i have uninstalled and then re-installed my modem drivers and the webcam drivers! and still the same problem!

Cheers guys!

Hi cortez and welcome to PCHF: a few questions:
- do you have a router?
- When you do, have you forwarded/opened the msn webcam and sound ports?
- have you executed the msn video and audio setup wizard?
Bram

Nope i dont have a router, and i have done the msn wizard!
Cheers

Aaargh...
- Have you removed the previous versions of msn before installing a other one?
- have you uninstalled the software that came with the other cam?
- have you entered the msn ports into your firewall when you ahve one? (when you don't you should get a firewall)

Yep!
I use windows firewall, should i try and turn that off before doing it?

Can anyone help? i still have the same problem!
