I have a PIII 850mhz HP Pavillion. I cannot receive other people's video while trying to use netmeeting. The Video option within NetMeeting is greyed out. Everything on the Microsoft Website was useless. HP wasn't much help either. I am using acable modem for internet access and the onboard video card. The video card is more than adequate for this purpose. I have even installed the latest version of NetMeeting but with no luck. Can anyone tell me why my Video menu option is greyed out and how to make it funtional?

I use netmeeting a lot and get this once in a while. Netmeeting is just not detecting that your camera is installed.

Most cameras come with basic software package for capturing stills/videos, etc. Try launching that software to see if your camera works in it. If it does work, then you know your camera is at least installed and functional.

If it's a USB camera, then try this: Close Netmeeting, unplug/replug in the camera, and launch Netmeeting.

Worst case scenario: Un-install thecamera drivers completely, then re-install them. I've never seen a situation where Netmeeting doesn't eventually detect the camera.
