Hi
I am running Windows XP Pro but cant get video from my cam into netmeeting.
The buttons are greyed out. I have a Pinnacle Studio capture card. Any
ideas?
Thanks

I presume the card works otherwise in other software?

If NetMeeting doesn't recognize your capture card at all it is possible
that the drivers do no provide VFW (the old style capture interface
required by NetMeeting) but only WDM interface support.

http://www.meetingbywire.com/NetMeeting102.htm#Firewire has some
information on a possible workaround.

http://www.orangeware.com/endusers/webcamdv.html is often mentioned as a
workaround as well.

Thanks for the links. The driver was the problem and since downloading the
right one things are fine now.
