Question for Jonathan Kay

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Hi Jonathan. You helped me out with the reg file (below) a little while ago,
but now I am having problems using my webcam (Logitech Quickcam) and it
seems that Windows Messenger is the culprit as it will not "release" the cam
for use by other applications. I was wondering if there is a way to undo
what the reg-file did. Can you let me know if there is a solution?
Cheers.
Eos.

Thanks Jonothan. I used the reg-file, but the Logitech QuickCam still tells
me the cam is in use by another application.
I wish I knew how to find out 'whch' application that Windows XP means, but
I don't have a clue where to start.
Eos.

Hi,

I really don't believe it's in use. Try downloading and running the following .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/quickcamexpress.reg

You'll need to reboot to see the change.
