Video with ATI All in Wonder 7500

I can use the camera in other programs but not MSN
Messenger 6.0. I can run the audio/video testing and the
camera connected to the S-Video input on the ATI card is
detected. When I try to use the webcam settings or start
a session, it says there is no camera detected...

Kinda strange???

Got any clues to this one???

Thanks,
Henry Spikes

Greetings Henry,

Are you using the 'Webcam' option -- if so MSN Messenger 6's 'Webcam' option cannot use
firewire cameras or video inputs from video cards (in most cases). Instead, run through the
Audio/Video Tuning Wizard to select the correct input (you can find this option in any Tools
menu in MSN Messenger 6), then use the Actions menu, 'Start Video Conference' option, which
does support firewire cameras, video inputs, etc.
