Hey so I just bought a new XPS dell computer and I use Windows Live (MSN) messenger.

I was havign a video chat with my friend but...

You can see me! You see an animation..
Like.. Its...
it's a Came effect that changes your face into a dog, a cat, alien or other random things

But my problem is I want to have a normal video chat showing my face! And I have no clue how to get it back to my face instead of this stupid Live!Avatar cam.


anyone help?


ty!

I don't know if this is what you have in mind -- put pics or video on in place of web cam

SplitCamera is a virtual video clone and video capture driver for connecting several applications to a single video capture source. Usually, if you have a Web camera connected to your computer, you cannot use it in more than one application at the same time, and there is no standard Windows options that makes it possible. SplitCam driver allows you to easily multiply your Web camera video in any conferencing software like ICQ, Yahoo, MSN Messenger, or whatever... and to broadcast it to many users at a time. With SplitCam you can connect up to 64 clients to a single video source.

I resolved my problem already but thank you for your response.

Hey I have this problem, What can I do to stop the Live avatar and use my own webcam?

On MSN

Go to Options

Video Setup

And chose Live integrated Webcam

Hey I have the same problem you did with the cat showing up or dog... and it always told me to connect my camera using live cam avatar... I have no idea how to do that could you give me the steps you used to fix it with a dell XPS laptop... do I go to MSN.com?
