Chat Line

Chat Line
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:23:00 -070
I have Windows XP and Msn Messenger and frequently use the Chat Line etc.  
Now I have a Web Cam LifeCamVX-1000.  I  should like to carry on 
communicating with my friend (who also has a Web Cam but he is deaf so 
obviously we cannot use the Audio  link but we would like to carry on sending 
messages to one another and see one another etc    How can we do that.  Write 
messages and watch one another with no speech.

Greetings,

It should continue to work.  However, you will need to set up Messenger for the
new device. 
To do so, press the Alt key on the keyboard in any Messenger window to bring up
the menu bar, 
then choose Tools, and then Audio and Video setup.

After that, just go through the wizard and it should work.  Also, if you want to
truly avoid 
using audio /w video, you can bring up the menu bar again using Alt, choose
Actions, then 
Video, and then 'Share my webcam' (your contact will have to do the same
thing).
