Microsoft Lifecam Cinema works well with windows live messenger.

I just bought a Microsoft Lifecam Cinema, connected with my PC and installed the software 3.6. What I noticed that the quality fo the vedio going well under the lifecam software or to preview audio/vedio setting of the windows live messenger. However, the vedio quality is pretty poor, when I compose a vedio with other people using windows live messenger.

I don't know if this is related to the operating systems or not. My operating system is XP Professional, the other part is windows 7. the version of my windows live messenger is current.

Any advice?

Hi IanZ11,
 
The LifeCam software requires a card video and monitor that can run a resolution of at least 800 x 600 high color. Set the resolution of Windows display on 800 x 600 high color and then test the software.
 

Try the steps listed in the article below and check if that helps you.

  • Qosmo G40 - built Chicony Webcam incompatible with windows live messenger

    I can't have the built-in webcam to work on my brand new G40 - 108 with Windows Live Messenger. I get the following message appears when you try to set up "audio and video setting" the Herald: "Windows cannot connect to this webcam. Close any program that may be using this webcam and restart the wizard."

    He connected with technical support from Toshiba, which were also unable to solve the problem. We have tried to disable both webcam at startup apps. If both executed at startup, the chicony software does not work.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'll update this post if I get a resolution on their part.

    Thank you!

    Yes I have a solution.
    Remove the old software and the driver for the system.
    Go to the Toshiba European page and download the latest software for a chicony and the driver.
    Then install on the laptop and enjoy.

    Notes; Restart the laptop everytime after reinstalling the driver.

  • Problems with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer proxy servers...

    I recently had problems with the above programs and their connection to the internet. I did not quite understand what was going on until I tried to connect to Windows Live Messenger a day and it wouldn't let me not connect due to a problem with the proxy server and important ports... And since then, I was not able to browse the web with Internet Explorer, download Windows Live, nor access the music store online for Windows Media player. Can someone help me with this problem?

    J2BJosh,

    It is important that you try some of the solutions provided Karena so that we can continue to resolve the problem.
    Here are some important steps to try I think solve the problem:

    Add-ons add functionality (for example, extra toolbars, animated, stock and pop-up blockers mouse pointers) to your web browser. While Add-ons can enhance your online experience, they can sometimes interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. Try to start Internet Explorer without Add-ons to see if the problem goes away. Here's how:

    • Click the button start , click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If disabling all add-ons solves the problem, you can manage add-ons to disable all add-ons and then put modules only as needed. This will allow you to figure out which add-on is causing the problem.

    Open Manage Add-ons

    1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the button start . In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, then, in the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    2. Click on tools and then click on Manage Add-ons.

    If disabling modules does not resolve the problem, try resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings. This removes all changes that have been made to Internet Explorer since it was installed, but it does not delete your Favorites or flows.

    1. Close the Windows Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer.

    2. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the button start . In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, then, in the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    3. Click Tools and then click Internet Options.

    4. Click on the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.

    5. In the reset Internet Explorer settings dialog, click Reset.

    6. When you are finished, click Close, and then click OK.

    7. Close Internet Explorer and reopen it before the changes take effect.

    Hope that helps!

I can't return this laptop apparently ill try to make it work, but before I do, I want to ask the world or even HP SUPPORT themselves and whether someone had a bit of luck this improve lappy by switching to windows 7.

    Thank you!

    Hi SwaggaSamurai,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP Pavilion Notebook 17z-e100 and wanting to downgrade to Windows 7. The hardest part might be some of the drivers. You have a copy of Windows 7 Professional? All the drivers can be found by doing a Google search. If you need help with drivers, I'd be happy to help you. Here is a document on Windows downgrade rights. I recommend to read this document and save all documents before you start, just so that you don't miss something important.

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

  • NVIDIA graphics card works well with windows 7

    I have a Nvidia 8600 M GS installed in my HP dv9000 Laptop and my display driver does not work as it should.  Contrast, brightness, Gamma, etc... do not adjust as he should, and I find myself with yellow shades and shadows in my desktop wallpaper. I replaced the motherboard, thinking that the chipset was defective. I have the same result.  Any direction to a display driver that works for windows 7?

    Whatever the problem, it's not directly because of Win7.

    Have you downloaded the graphics drivers from HP? It is usually better to get the driver for

    laptops from the mfg rather than Nvidia.

    Note that despite the advice to use the latest drivers that do not always apply to older hardware.

    You're often better off to stay with older drivers, so if HP has continued to release new drivers for

    your 8600 m at one time'd you generally better stick with them.

    However if you want, you can try the drivers from the Nvidia site. If you read the release notes but

    I think you will find that there is no beneficial optimizations for your 8600 m.

    ------------

    This driver is well considered universally stable with GTX 400 and 500 series cards,.

    that are more recent than your 8800 Series generations. I would be the

    best option if you want to try a 'recent' driver on the Nvidia site (March 3, 2013).

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/59645/en-us

    Note: Do not use the devices or Windows Update Manager to install the graphics drivers.

    Uninstall the current drivers via programs and features and don't forget to uninstall all the

    Graphic driver NVIDIA - driver, PhysX, 3D, HD audio - components

    Reboot before installing the new drivers.

  • Now that Hotmail is part of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook is with Skype, it's ok to uninstall Windows Live Messenger?

    Each time, starting with Windows Live Messenger 'opens' but is more to accept my login information because Hotmail joined Outlook and Outlook is connected with Skype... so Windows Live Messenger seems to be a redundant nuisance (and Microsoft to my knowledge has not offered advice on this when they said Hotmail users we would be part of Outlook... etc)... so it seems reasonable to simply uninstall... but is it?

    Hello Brygge,

    If you run both Windows Messenger and Skype you should have a notification to upgrade your copy of Windows Messenger to the latest version of Skype. I know that I have received an and after upgrade Windows Messenger disappeared.

    If you don't have the notification, then you should be able to remove messenger through Control Panel > programs and features. In programs and features, look for Windows Essentials 2012. You will find the option to remove Messenger once you clicked Windows Essential 2012 and started the removal process. If you want other applications of Windows Essentials 2012 such as Movie Maker, etc. leave these options checked. Just remove the Windows Messenger tick mark and then proceed with the uninstall.
