WebCam No Longer Works In MSN Messenger. PLEASE HELP!

I have had the Webcam Instant for about a year and a half now. It has worked all the way up until last week when we moved my computer. It works in the Creative Webcam Center but when I try to use it on MSN it says that it either is not plugged in or Im using it in some other program. and when it says that I never have Creative Webcam open. What do I do?!? Please Help ASAP

HI!
first things to do is uninstall anything regarding to the camera ... clean registry and so on with some tools like tuneup utilties ... and then reinstall with the latest drivers.
Then it should work.
If this doesnt help unistall messenger and reinstall....
I think there is no way to rewrite all settings which can be wrong without uninstalling and cleaning ...
Best Regards
LooM

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
    I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
    I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
    In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

  • Logging in with MSN Messenger - please help!

    Hello!
    I really hope somebody can help, I've been trying to get iChat to work with my MSN Messenger contacts for about 2 weeks now and have trawled through the advice on this forum but nothing has worked properly.
    I've tried Ralph Jones (I think)' helpful advice, been through the top three links and registered with Jabber about 5 times but no success. If you are reading please help Ralph!
    The first time I tried it, it did work and I spoke with somebody for a few minutes, however then it came up with an error that said 'Not available' when I tried to send a message. Since then all my contacts have showed as 'Waiting for Authorization' but this status never changes. I think I've tried everything - I've tried different servers on the third link, I've tried the UK one (I'm in the UK) but nothing seems to work.
    Please help! This is the final step as every other application I've got working fully!
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi,
    I used Psi to set up my Jabber name and transport on Jabber.org.uk
    Then I added that Jabber screen name as an Jabber account in the iChat Preferences > Accounts
    Like you I find that sometimes they seem to stay at Not Authorised.
    Check with the Psi app that the Transport is active.
    Also contact Gil Taylor in table 2
    http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html as he seems to know more about this.
    Use his AIM name first and text him.

  • Trying to download MSN messenger please help

    I have just bought a Mac book Pro and am clueless on how to use it. I am also useless on computers and have no idea what I'm doing.
    I have been trying to download Lime wire and MSN messenger but have been told I need to download a compression file. I downloaded Stuffit Expander but I still am unable to download MSN and Limewire. It simply says:
    "The Limewirewin.ex does not appear to be compressed or encoded. It is adviced that you obtain further information about the contents of this file from the sender or provier of the file."
    No idea what this means please help me, and make it simple please!!!

    Wellcome to the Discussions !
    As you have been told, this is the wrong forum for your questions. Visit the OSX Forum here:

    Don't forget to use the search feature in the Forums before posting, it's very probable you find the answer from previous topics.
    But just a couple of advices. You can download Microsoft MSN 6.0 from this link (you don't need any special software to install it):

    ... but I encourage you to give a try to this other chat app:

  • W520 webcam no longer working after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    Hello,
    I upgraded my w520 from Win 7 to Win 8 last year with zero problems.
    Now I upgraded my W520 Win 8 to Win 8.1 via the store download. Except the webcam everything works fine.
    In e.g. the Skype desktop application, Google Hangouts or the camera app, the built in webcam no longer works.
    The green light turns on, but I just get the crossed out camra icon in e.g. the Skype video options. No video.
    I see there are no drivers yet for Win 8.1 on the Lenovo support site for the w520 camera.
    In device manager it still shows the 2011 camera driver 1.1.0.1147 and says "This device is working properly." 
    But it does not work properly.
    Did anyone get the camera to work or is it just a matter of waiting for a driver to be released eventually?
    I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, camera is enabled in the Bios and permissions are set to give Skype and the camera app access to the camera. I also tried the W530 drives as was suggested elsewhere.
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    try getting the communicastion utility installed under 8.1. The crossed image is the cameras security mode.

  • Webcam no longer working in Skype

    Hi All
    I have a Dell laptop with an integrated webcam and for some reason last Thursday the webcam no longer work in skype. It was working the day before. It still works in yahoo. When I try to make a video call or test it under options - video settings I get a black screen with that moving circle indicating that the video is loading but it never loads. The internet connection is very fast. Has anyone else seen this issue or know how to resolve it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Alan

    There are two main reasons why their are video incompatibilities in the newer releases.
    1.  The way video support was redesigned in 6.2 and above left some cameras incapable of supporting the new video mode in older style hardware.  For this reason the Skype special version (6.1.x) was made available.  This also resolves video incompatibility issues between very old releases (i.e. Skype for MAC OSX 2.8 and Skype Special Version for Windows allows video communication to occur between contacts vs. just audio)  
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12252/why-can-t-i-make-video-calls-on-the-latest-version-of-skype...
    2.  Bugs/incompatibilities are sometimes introduced in the newer releases like the recently reported issues with Dell XPS model cameras.  In that instance, you would have to downgrade to 6.3 or below which does not have that flaw.
    Skype 6.3 (the previous release)
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.3.0.105.msi
    So while it may be highly inconvenient, if you are aware of the above you should be able resolve any video-related issue.  I for one have been fortunate as none of my laptop webcams including the one on my Dell has failed to work in any Skype for Windows release.

  • Right-click Flash selection of webcams no longer works. Bug?

    After some tense struggles and several failed webcam swaps, our support team discoverd that using right-click to select a webcam no longer works after our hosted service's recent upgrade. Is this necessary, or a bug?

    Yes, the menu driven webcam selection process works fine. It's just the old way to select webcam source that no longer works. The worst part is there's no indication that the selection process that has always worked no longer works. Hence my technican swapping webcams, assuming they aren't working.

  • Does anyone know why my music won't play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I tried resetting it already and that didn't work. Can someone please help?

    Does anyone know why my music wont play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I've tried resetting it already but that didnt work. Can someone please help.

    I would to a Restore.  Select the iPod in iTunes.  Go to the Summary tab for the iPod.  There is a button there to do a Restore.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
    If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod.  All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.
