Aloha I sent an email to 'heidi' but it came back 'non-deliverable'. If you read this, Heidi, send me an email and I will help fix your computer problem. I am a very senior systems and software engineer who has build, in the past 25 years, at least 1000 computers from components including board-level solder retrofits and who writes computer books too. Your problem sounds very simple (to me). I am sure I can walk you through fixing your web-cam setup. When you email me, please tell me: 1. type of computer (e.g., Pentium III, 300Mhz, 256Mg Ram, 20Gig Hard Drive, amount of free space on hard drive, video card name or type) 2. operating system and version (e.g., Windows 2000 Pro, or Windows 98 SP2) 3. type of web-cam and name of the company that makes it (in case I need to get you the latest driver) If need be, I can walk you through a re-install via phone (I get free long-distance on my cell, no biggie), but I do not think that will be necessary, at all. I am sure I can make a few suggestions via email that will solve your problem, or perhaps through Windows net meeting' vnc. /Ferret Mommy [Posted in FML issue 3760]
