| | Webcam Flipping Issue - WLM 2009 Beta Simple. I go to initiate a webcam session with a buddy, and when my image is correctly oriented, my buddy sees my image backwards, and when my image is backwards, my buddy sees me correctly. Is this a bug in WLM 2009 Beta? Just for note: AOL Messenger has the same issue, but they (AOL) won't fix it. -- Any problems caused by software made by leading manufacturers is always the users fault, never the manufacturer. That's the real world of computer software manufacturers, deal with it. |

| | Re: Webcam Flipping Issue - WLM 2009 Beta Sounds more like an issue with your webcam drivers, if the issue is happening in both AOLMessenger and Windows Live Messenger. I'd check your webcam driver properties in device manager to see if there's any options to flip the image, and barring that, go to your webcam manufacturer's website to see if there are updated drivers. -- Jason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Read my blog for the latest in Media Center topics (and other topics that interest me) http://blog.jasontsang.ca More information by me http://jtsang.mvps.org http://www.classicsunveiled.com Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx "Larry Reyome" <LReyome25@xxxxxx(nosubmittojunk)> wrote in message news:FF735950-569A-4B96-9C90-525ED67C209C@xxxxxx Quote: > Simple.

| | Re: Webcam Flipping Issue - WLM 2009 Beta Funny you should suggest that, cause I am not the only one having the issue in AIM and it is well documented over there, but AOL just cant seem to come up with a solution. It is a Labtec/Logitech, and there have been reports of issues with their cams and messengers "Jason Tsang" wrote: Quote: > Sounds more like an issue with your webcam drivers, if the issue is > happening in both AOLMessenger and Windows Live Messenger. > > I'd check your webcam driver properties in device manager to see if there's > any options to flip the image, and barring that, go to your webcam > manufacturer's website to see if there are updated drivers. > > > > -- > Jason Tsang - Microsoft MVP > > Read my blog for the latest in Media Center topics > (and other topics that interest me) > http://blog.jasontsang.ca > > More information by me > http://jtsang.mvps.org > http://www.classicsunveiled.com > > Find out about the MS MVP Program - > http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx > > > > "Larry Reyome" <LReyome25@xxxxxx(nosubmittojunk)> wrote in message > news:FF735950-569A-4B96-9C90-525ED67C209C@xxxxxx Quote: > > Simple.

| | webcam flipping issues followup Also, the issue not only affects my physical webcam, but my other two virtual cams as well, and also my friend over on aol messenger has the same issue but thats their software issue. This should be fixed before 2009 goes final and MS needs to stop saying its user fault. |
