Msn live cam problem

[birdy2k10]

hey today i installed Windows 7 ultimate 32bit
downloaded latest msn version, and the messenger plus live add on...

now when i try to send or recieve cam it automatically sends an invite for a video call and not just regular cam :S

never had this problem before, grateful if anyone can help me out?

To send for a cam It means that you sending an initation to have a video chat... Thats why......
I dont know what you mean by ( Just a regular cam ) !!

Are you using a laptop with built in cam or desktop with cam on top like mine?

You can also try downloading SKYPE(free) and set up an account where you can see and talk to whoever.
Or someone will come along and help you out but you system specs are limited so I am out of here.

i mean by sending (regular cam)
an invitation to send webcam without the microphone if you know what i mean?

every time i try to send cam it sends voice call too, i dont want voice call just cam...

same problem

I have the exact same problem. I just installed windows 7 but on msn my webcam no longer works. I can't invite a friend to view webcam or view a friend's webcam. It does not work on Skype either.

which webcam please.. not all webcams work with 7...

 

[eduardo16]

its the microsoft lifecam vx-3000. the thing is, it works fine on its own. i can even access the audio/video settings on windows live. however i cannot invite a friend to view my webcam.

Cant just send my webcam

Ive been using MSN live messenger for years now and there has always been two options in using the webcam. One is to initiate a video call that sends and receives the camera from both parties and also sends voice. The other option, that causes less lag, is the option to just send my webcam alone. no voice and no asking the other person to see their cam. I have been using a Toshiba laptop with a built in webcam on Windows Vista with MSN version 9. I recently got a new laptop, an Acer, with a Crystal Eye cam and windows 7 and now the only option for both the updated version of MSN messenger and the older version 9 is video call only. So.. how do we fix this? Do I need to scrap Windows and go back to vista?
