Hi,
It's not necessary on XP, they're fully compatible. See my other post to you yesterday where
I go on in more detail.
That's interesting -- my Intel CS430 required me to install the Intel drivers. Additionally,
Advanced settings dialog crashes but otherwise the camera works.

Hi Jonathan, thank you for your recommendation for Vista, she will upgrade to WLM 8.1.
Should the XP/XP Pro users upgrade from MSN Messenger 7.5 to Windows Live too?
FYI, the Vista member kept her old Intel webcam which installed and was recognized by Vista
w/o needing a driver!. The other members (six) are now experiencing an increase in video
picture quality when video conversing with her !! both from the Intel receiving stream and
their Sending end. ( a mix of Logitec and Creative webcams)

Greetings,
On Vista you really should be using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 as it's considered the
"Vista version" of Messenger. All previous versions won't work properly on Vista
(although I've never heard of disconnections specifically).

Our group uses American Sign Language to IM communicate. Based on reading postings and
suggestions published here, we have 'standardized' on MSN Messenger 7.5 which works well
most of the time although most annoying is a disconnect every 10-15 minutes. We live with
this experience although it seems more prevalently coming from a recently downloaded MSN
Messenger 7.5 for Vista Premium. (other members are on XP home and XP Pro)
--- Question? ---Since Windows Live Messenger is the latest incarnation of MSN Messenger
and replaced XP's Windows Messenger, should we all migrate to Windows Live Messenger.
? --- in hopes of gaining a more stable with fewer disconnect sessions.-- Any
suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
