Default Should I Give Up?


I have asked this question a few times in here without response.
Perhaps no one knows the answer to my problem.

Basically when I click on the video and audio to chat with my
family my whole computer restarts, clicking on this video is just
like hitting the computer restart button.

Is there a flaw in the messenger that noone wants to point out.
Just let me know if it can't be fixed I might just look into another
audio video chat program.

Thanks,
Spock

In all probability you have a "bug". Get Ad Aware and run that and see if
it does not clear up the problem. You can find a Cnet, just go there and
type in Ad Aware in the search.

Spock Your CAMERA or Sound Card are Causing this issue
its known as an I/O or input output error. this is a
hardware configuration issue and is not capable of being
caused by a piece of software alone. The Kernel will not
allow software threads to hang the kernel but I/O harware
conflicts are subsytem resident and can cause fatal
system crashes. So, quit wining about MSNGR and fix your
hardware.

Greetings Spock,

As I believe has already been mentioned, this *could* be a driver issue, so you may want to
make sure you have all the latest drivers for all the audio and video devices either from
your OEM (aka Dell, Gateway, etc.), WindowsUpdate (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com), or
direct from the manufacturers (http://www.logitech.com, http://www.soundblaster.com, etc.).

If you still encounter further problems, you might want to try Yahoo Messenger as an
equivalent.

That is not much of an answer, should I get out my sodering gun
and start fixing my hardware? and wining about my msngr
I asked this question once, then twice and when I say should
I give up I get 3 replies.

I understand this is just a newsgroup and you don't have to respond
to me but sometimes it is funny what it takes to get a response.
