  • Live messenger activation causes poor video quality

    Whenever I have activate Live messenger (Windows xp, version 2009, Build 14.0.8117.416) my monitor turns off completely. After a few seconds the video links and this is horrible. Right-click on a zone empty of my desktop and go to properties, a time I'm on the view tab, I see that my video quality went to 8-bit, low. I can use the drop-down list box and select 32 - bit and 'ok', and my video quality goes back to normal. However, whenever I click on a link in live messenger, or select an option Menu tab in live messenger that my video goes back to 8 bits.  What's worse, is that my Messenger friend sent me a video link 'you tube '. By clicking on the link caused my video problem to cycles in the horrible back 8-bit to 32-bit normal. Every few seconds, the screen goes white and back, it is the other video quality.  Previously, I was able to have video conversations with my friend, but now we have problems (she can see and hear me, I can't hear him). I also noticed that the 'video', and the point of 'Photo' of the bar menu is grayed out. Live messenger does not show even I have a webcam, although this option is selected.  Why do I have all this trouble with live messenger. It started a few months ago.   Oh, one last thing... When I close Live Messenger, my video quality returns to normal as if nothing happened.

    Hi DavidSrams,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    I suggest that reduce you the hardware acceleration on your computer and check if it helps.

    (a) click Start, click run, type desk.cpl, and then click OK.

    (b) click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

    (c) in the performance tab or on the Troubleshooting tab, move the Hardware Acceleration all the way to the right ( Full position).

    (d) click OKand then click close.

    (e) If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you install the updated drivers for the graphics card on the computer by visiting adapter manufacturer's Web site to download and install the drivers, check if it helps.

  • No camera or share a video call on my iPhone 5.

    Hello

    Me and a friend tried to start a video call on our iPhone 5. We all have the latest version of Skype, but I can't share my video, just my friend. I see my friend perfectly, but my friend can not. I first thought that maybe FaceTime should be turned on, because my friend has it. But he seems to have nothing in common. I also tried to toggle camera during the video conference session when it's on, but the camera does not illuminate. Typed on/off camera, but nothing happens. I am naïve and I really want this to work. I appreciate any suggestions!

    Hi there, you can do one of the many things... If you see your sef on your screen then the problem is probably the end of your friend, if you do not see yourself try to switch to the rear camera and see what happens, if it does not work try to use facetime to reach your friend and put end facetime and Skype.

    If this does not uninstall Skype and reinstall.

  • Integration of video call of BBM

    Hi all

    I need help from guru BB10, is it possible to start the video call of BBM with custom controls added to the screen? I think it would be as a video call mode of overlay and controls customized on the top layer.

    The task in general to display custom in the BBM video connection controls (buttons, labels). I don't know if this is possible or not, and where I can dig more on the integration of video of BBM.

    This is not supported.  You can call a BBM video call in your application, but you cannot customize the user interface of the calling card (screen) itself.

    Hi Eddie,.

    As the person receiving the call is able to hear and unable to see, we need to check if the video settings are set correctly.

    When I send a Youtube video in a firend on Windows Live Messenger I can not hear the sound of the video and when a friend sent me a video of her webcam I can't hear the sound.

    Open an instant message to a friend, click on tools, click on installation of audio and video, change the bar above the speaker by default, and then click Finish. The sound should work now.

  • < Display Caller ID > disabled and grayed out.

    The title says more or less. I found yesterday from my wife that when I call him my number comes as "unknown". I know where the preference "Show Caller ID" is, but it is grayed out as non-functional. It is set to 'stop' and will not be can depend on.

    The phone is updated with iOS 9.3.2 and the update has been applied to several weeks (4-8) before this problem arose. I don't know things that occur out of no where, but that's how it seems. I restarted the phone and also reset network settings, but none has made a difference.

    Just days before that, I discovered late one day that all my calls for the day have been "missed". I knew that something was wrong here. Started with AT & T and it turns out that I threw a good sting. AT & T had recently made an update to the system and it had somehow me switched to a phone restricted, could make calls but not receive calls. A few minutes later everything was fine - thought. Today, they assure me that the problem today is not theirs and I should call Apple. Long call with Apple broke and I had to get a call, it never came.

    Don't know what else to say here. Any ideas/help appreciated.

    IMO no matter what AT & T told you, it seems that the fault is theirs. You can just try it with a different sim card and you will have the answer. Also, try to connect your phone to iTunes and "check for updates". This function also checks the parameters of your career, so if there is an update, you will get it.
