The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Video chat (iChat to AIM)

Asked by himrich in Networking Hardware for Macintosh

Tags: video, aim, ichat, chat

I bought a new firewire webcam specifically to use with AIM 5.5 on a PC I have in the house so when I am on the road with my Powerbook I can video chat with my family. So far I have had very limited success in getting it to work. Following is what I have experienced.

The PC is running XP and according to the manufacturer of the camera uses the default (generic) driver in XP to see the camera. It does see the camera for all of it's proprietary programs. It also sees the webcam when I set the Video/Audio options under AIM prefs. However, when I go to use the camera in video chat (and this is where if you haven't used AIM I may lose some of you) it returns the message "Camera Not Found" under the tab "My Camera" yet I can see the video from the Mac under the "My Buddy" tab. The Mac end cannot see the video from the PC and there is no little green video camera in iChat next to the PC users name.

So, earlier I said I had limited success. I contacted another PC user running AIM 5.5 and opened a video chat. Once again I got the "Camera Not Found" msg but they could see me, unlike my experience on the Mac, and I could see them, just not myself (inset or under My Camera tab).

What would be ideal is if someone out there has the same setup, i.e. Pyro webcam and AIM 5.5, but I would settle for any leadership in this manner. I have run out of ideas. I have placed this story on 6 HELP sites (PC and Mac) and received nothing of substance.

Searching the web has returned nothing of substance either. So anyone out there that can help me?
