MSN Messenger - webcam/voicecall/message

How can I disable my webcam and voice/call on my msn messenger message, but the video message always appears at the bottom.

I tried to disable my webcam, but it still seems.

How do I unplug my webcam at all times, if it is already installed in my laptop.

Please advise as soon as POSSIBLE.
NOTE: My laptop has Windows Vista. I downloaded MSN 2011.

    I have a satellite 400 with integrated webcam.

    Hi all

    Hello

    I m a bit confused; you have some problems with the graphics card or with the webcam?

    I assume you mean on external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the laptop? Can win 7 recognize the device? Have you installed additional drivers for this webcam?
    Most of the time it s necessary to do so because I think that it s not Plug & Play device.

  • Equium L20: Effect Larsen Audio with webcam and MSN Messenger

    Hello

    I am a user starting with an Equium L20 connected to a Logitech Web camera and an MSN e-mail account.
    When I live via MSN Messenger video conversation with my daughter (300 miles) there is a very high-pitched sound of feedback that gets worse, as we speak.

    It is not the webcam because it does not occur when the webcam is connected to a friends laptop and we tired 4 different ones with the same result. Is not the configuration wireless and broadband or something in our House as it does the same thing when it is connected to another (different) system 300 miles away.

    Our retailer said it is not for lack of material, but cannot solve the problem despite the download of new speakers and takes us through the balance between volume settings and the wave in volume control (only works when the volume is too low to be incomprehensible!). They are now blaming MSN software.

    They do not add external speakers via the connection of the headphones, but as this does not "turn off" the laptop speakers we always get feedback - as we do with headphones.

    Ideas accepted with gratitude that we are missing out on see our 7 month old granddaughter growing up!

    Thank you in anticipation

    Hello

    I guess that the webcam is supported by a clean microphone and therefore sound feedback occurs.
    Audio feedback can occur when the audio received by a participant through its speakers, then go into the microphone.
    All participants MUST have a helmet to separate audio cross over between the speakers and microphones. It is also VERY important to make sure that you have selected the microphone on your headphones and NOT the one with the built-in webcam.
    Webcam microphones have a wide range and pick up lots of ambient noise and are not ideal for 2-way conversations. To ensure that the correct microphone is selected right hand mouse click on the video window, select settings, select the microphone icon and make sure that your headset is selected. The slider bar will adjust the volume level.

    In addition, I found a useful FAQ page on the Toshiba site:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ6201DW000YR01.htm

    It does NOT describe the same question but very similar to yours. Maybe it will help you.

  • Satellite P300-1CN - error message when download of MSN messenger

    I recently updated my Satellite P300 - 1CN PSPCCE to Windows 7, after this everything seems to work ok but if I try to download msn messenger is comes up with an error saying the file may be corrupted hr: 0x8007000d.

    I am not the most technical of the world, but would like to know what I need to do on this issue!

    Help please!

    Hi Brian,.

    I think that it of really difficult to tell why you get an error when you download MSN messenger.
    Where do you download the Messenger? You should try MSN or Microsoft page.

    This will happen if you click on download or start the downloaded file?

    Have you noticed this behavior with other downloads too?

  • Qosmio F20: Bad sound using the MSN Messenger & video transmission

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop Qosmio F20, who is currently connected to the Internet via a router/modem WiFi Netgear (DG834v2).
    I tried to use MSN messenger v7.5 (7.5.0311 and 7.5.0324) with a webcam Creative NX () to make a video call.
    But the sound of the person I'm talking to is so distorted, it is impossible to have a conversation (I tried with several of my friends, who all have good sound on their end).
    However, if I have an audio only (no video) conversation, I have a perfect sound.
    Despite my best efforts (update drivers, reinstall messenger, windows firewall ok for messenger etc...) I've had no chance of finding the problem so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

    Thanks in advance.
    François

    Hello

    You suggested that the sound working properly without the video connection.
    In my opinion, it happens because of the webcam. Maybe the software has a bad influence on the sound.
    This is not a product of Toshiba, and Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party device.
    I recommend you to check the site of the manufacture of cam. Maybe you will find the solution.

  • Satellite A300-034 - BSOD using msn messenger

    I'm also having roughly the same problem. I bought my Toshiba A300-034 from futureshop with a built-in webcam.
    Whenever I try to use it with msn messenger, it goes to the blue screen and restart my computer after a very short time.

    What can I do to fix this?
    Should drivers be installed or uninstalled?
    I don't have the camera software that there is no cd for this laptop backup; It is all saved on a certain part of the hard drive.

    Thanks for your help.

    You should be able to create a recovery disc! Do this, use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool!

    In addition, you should visit the Canadian driver Toshiba page (Yes, this seems to be a Canadian model of laptop) and need to reinstall the webcam software and should update the Vista!
