Problems with Gateway DC-T20

well that is a good point but have disabled the winxp firewall, and the one
firewall I do have I have set up to allow netmeeting conversations. I was
not able to use the pc cam function at all not even with the viedo creation
softwere that came with the camera, and that doesn't ave any thing to do
with accessing the net, that I know of. I was thinking it might of been a
hardwere problem. But I am not all too sure. In any case it works great dor
downloading pictures just a terrible pc cam, but if anyone can help I would
be thankful I don't like it when things don't work right.

Do you have broadband? Sometimes the problem is solved by disabling the modem in the
device manager, this is especially true of web cams.

Yes I connect via cable. And I don't know if this means anything but the
gateway rep I spoke with made sure to tell me it is NOT a web cam it IS a pc
cam. I really don't know why they felt it was nessessary to tell me that
over and over. But maybe it will help you if you know that. Should I disable
my nic card would that help? it sort of makes the camera usless through
netmeeting but I would like to use it to make some recording of my bird so
if I can do at least that I would be happy.

well hmm I tried disabling and even uninstalling my nic card (no modem on my
pc) and it still shut down so I think I will go to a gateway store and see
what they have to say. I'm sure it's one of the unsolvable problems that
turn up from time to time and it's no big thing I was thinking about buying
a web cam anyway. Thanks for your help though it was nice of you.

I know very little about web cams, but we do have one and had a heck of a time
getting it to work until we went into the device manager and disabled the modem. We
assumed it was looking for the dial-up.
According to the Gateway site, it is a pc camera with a movie mode.

Maybe your configuration isn't quite right.
