Messanger >> Cannot watch webcam (version 6.1) Hello all

I've just installed MSN version 6.1.

The program freezes every time I try to watch webcam. I haven't installed my
own yet, but I try to watch other people's cams.

What might be the problem?

Regards

Jan

Messanger >> Cannot watch webcam (version 6.1) I use Millennium + the video card, but I cannot find out which it is through
the control panel. Is it possible that there is no video card installed? I
watch a lot of video on the screen, but that's maybe possible without a
video card?

Regards

Jan

Messanger >> Cannot watch webcam (version 6.1) No, it's not possible to not have a video card, or your monitor wouldn't show
anything at all...

Messanger >> Cannot watch webcam (version 6.1) I also have experienced this problem. I am running version 6.1 of msn
messenger on Windows XP. My video card is an ATI All-in-Wonder
Pro128.

I can send webcam fine to other users but I cannot view their webcams.
I simply get a black screen and they tell me that their signal
freezes when this happens. They have also successfully sent their
webcam to other users so I'm guessing it's something on my end.

I have downloaded the latest direct x (i believe 9.02) and also the
latest software for the Logitech Pro 4000.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers
