    Hello All,

    I have installed the older 3.01 version of NetMeeting for Windows Vista on my HP Dv5 1000 laptop running windows vista ultimate 32-bit.

    The Webcam is installed as Microsoft Imaging Device and as USB Composite Device in the device manager.

    The Acer Chicony webcam driver replacement trick is not working with this model of mine.

    I am trying to run the NetMeeting for a peer to peer video conferencing session instead of MSN , Yahoo or any other paid service which would make the whole data stream go around the host internet servers, instead of direct one IP to another. However the webcam is not detected in NetMeeting.

    The webcam is working and active in other programs like MSN Messenger.

    Any clues to make it would would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    My guess is the NetMeeting program is just too old and doesnt support the webcam. :eek:
