You cannot remove it with any normal mechanism --the files cannot be
deleted, renamed, moved as they are protected by the system file protection
mechanism. This is because other programs ( Windows messenger, Msn Messenger
for instance) use its components.

Why do you want to remove it?

thanks - can read your reply now. Well, okay, I have tried everything to get my webcam (Creative Webcam) to work with Windows Messenger 4.7 or MSN Messenger 6.1 - both programs respond (via the Audio Tuning Wizard) with an error message advising that my camera is either being used by another program or is not working properly. Only possibility I can think of is Net Meeting 3.01, as that used to work when I used to video conference, and I have no other programs that use the camera, other than the Creative programs that comes with installation of the camera. Okay, maybe a silly thought, but trial and error is all that I have to go on for now. I have attested that camera is working properly.

Presently, camera works with Net Meeting only in showing my own picture, not the other party (and the other party can't see mine either). I have the XP OS on one side, and Win 98 on the other. With the Win 98 OS, MSN Mess 6.1 captures the camera okay (also a Creative Webcam). On the XP side, error messages as noted above. Any ideas what might be the cause, if not Net Meeting

Assuming NetMeeting is not running ( you have confirmed that it is not
running?) I don't see how it could possibly interfere.

Have you looked for and installed the latest drivers for your camera?

I presume you have that the XP operating system in question is up to date in
patches?

I think this problem has been reported a number of times before -- I don't
remember seeing a resolution.

thanks for your efforts. Yes, you are right about Net Meeting not running, so it should not interfere. Drivers and patches have been updated, but I'll check again to be sure

Best regards
