Trying to use messenger for video conferencing

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

Hi, my name is David and ill be happy to help you! hmm, I don't think that
you personally are doing anything wrong. I've used the messenger's video too,
and I have cable too. It seems that the video on MSN messenger or Windows
messenger isnt that great. I suggest using, AOL INSTANT MESSENGER for video
(because its very fast...depending on your camera speed)...Yahoo! messenger
at times can be fast too (if you have supercam) on. Please try those and see
how both of your cameras react. If they are slow, it might be the camera. But
garentee, the problem is not you at all! If you have any questions or need
anymore help, please feel free to e-mail me at: windowsxphelp05@yahoo.com or
visit my website(still under construction due to its new) at
http://windowsxphelp05.tripod.com

Thanks and I look foward to helping you!
