| Guest | Re: audio and video setup freezes windows live messenger Is Automatic Updates enabled? Can you do the following successfully?... 1. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com; 2. Install any required Windows Update-related software, if offered, then click CONTINUE; 3. Select CUSTOM and scan; 4. Select & install any critical security updates offered; follow all prompts. NB: I would not recommend installing IE7 via Windows Update if it's not already installed. If IE7 is already installed, look for a Root Certificates update in Optional category; if it's available, install it to take full advantage of IE7's enhanced security. (Root Certificates updates are not offered via Automatic Updates, for some unfathomable reason.) -- ~PA Bear Techy_G wrote: Quote: > WLM version 8.5.1302.1018 > > "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: Quote: >> [Forwarded to WLMessenger newsgroup via crosspost] >> >> What version of WLMessenger is installed? >> >> Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for >> Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3) and *only until* 14 Apr-09. >> (Chat and e-mail support is available only in the United States and >> Canada.)

| Guest | Re: audio and video setup freezes windows live messenger Hi, i don't have a straight answer to your problem, but it might be an idea just to try to install an other webcam. maybe it is possible to borrow one and see how it turns out. it's not the best idea, but spending lots and lots of time can be very frustrating. good luck with it "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP@xxxxxx> schreef in bericht news:%231qiVebcJHA.5412@xxxxxx Quote: > Is Automatic Updates enabled? > > Can you do the following successfully?... > > 1.

| Guest | Re: audio and video setup freezes windows live messenger well ya obviously i have all the updates off windows update... but no worries it was the version 8.5 of WLM that was the problem. some glitch in it i guess. because i just installed the newest one, the 2009 version and the cam works fine once again. so it was a WLM screw up "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: Quote: > Is Automatic Updates enabled? > > Can you do the following successfully?... > > 1.

| Guest | Re: audio and video setup freezes windows live messenger ok so never mind, i talked too fast, in the new version i was able to go into the main setup for audio and video without WLM freezing up. but when i start the webcam in a convo it works right up until the other person accepts the invitation. the all hell brakes loose and freezes right back up.
