Dear All:

I have a D-Link USB digital video camera that I use with NetMeeting and AOL. I just installed a USB hub (that I can't plug the cam into)--now that I have the camera plugged into my free USB port (the one without the hub), my NetMeetingno longer works right.

When I receive a call in NetMeeting or initiate a call, my recipient does not see my video image--they just see the NetMeeting screen. I know my cam is working because the D-Link digital video camera program and NetMeetingallow me to see my image.

I also can't chat anymore in NetMeeting while I am in a NetMeeting session.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

As a quick test; i suggest that you disconnect the USB hub and see if everything works correctly again.

Not all devices work correctly on these USB hubs and some of them pull a certain electrical current whether any device is connected or activated to them.

Does your USB hub have a power supply? Is it activated? If everything works correctly without the hub, then I recommend that you return the hub back to the place of purchase.

If disconnecting hub, fails to generate a better response; then reinstall NetMeeting. And test again. If that fails, then re-install the camera device.

You might also take a look at your IRQ usage and verify that your Video Adapter is not sharing the IRQ with any of the USB root hubs, etc. You may have a resources issue.
