have a Sony Vaio Laptop. (VGN-AR350E) My camera works fine offline. Takes pictures. Records video. But for some reason whenever I use either Yahoo or MSN Messenger to broadcast the webcam the picture comes out pitch black. I have tried reinstalling the needed drivers to fix this issue and went as far as doing a System Recovery and still I have this problem. So if anyone has had similar problems or have a few suggestions, please reply to this. Thanks! -- kaosux |

Greetings, What exactly happens when you go through the setup wizard? To get there, open up a Messenger window, press Alt on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choose Tools and then Audio and video setup. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "kaosux" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:5a15d38bd9566fe007c1fcfacd64d2bf@nntp-gateway.com... > > have a Sony Vaio Laptop.
