hope you don't mind me answering. even though i am not the Jonathan you
are seeking, my name is also Jonathan, and i was impressed with all the
alternatives you tried (e.g. change this, remove that, etc.). some
people try nothing on their own, before coming here to complain.
i have seen many people come here with this specific problem, but for
many other people it is not a problem, so maybe it is related to the
interaction between the hardware/drivers and SP2. why did it work fine
before SP2, i don't know, but here's something else to try, that might
narrow down / rule out some possibilities.
try using audio/video with 2 other programs built into Windows. run
NetMeeting (by typing conf in a Run box), and see if audio
and/or video will work. after that, run Dialer (by typing dialer
in a Run box), and see if audio and/or video will work. you will
have to know your friends' IP address to make the connection, because
there is no Contact List to double-click on to auto-connect.
how will this help ? if Dialer and NetMeeting also fail, then i would
think the problem is unrelated to SP2, and more related to the drivers
not getting along with SP2. if NetMeeting or Dialer work fine, then i
would think the problem is not related to drivers or hardware, but more
related to SP2 or the interaction between SP2 and Win/MSN Messenger.
if you try this, i sure would like to know what happens.
sorry this is not a magic bullet to solve everybody's problem.
i just hope it narrows down / rules out some possibilities.
