Videoconferencing with Microsoft NetMeeting  
Microsoft NetMeeting 3.01 has been included with your camera to provide  
videoconferencing capabilities. As one of the most widely distributed and  
versatile videoconferencing applications on the market, you will be able to  
communicate with anyone in the world as long as all parties are connected  
through Microsoft NetMeeting. As a result of its large distribution base, you  
will find that most owners of a pc camera will already have some exposure to  
the software and probably own a copy.  
Although this is an excellent program to become acquainted with, it can be  
rather complicated the first time you set up a conference. To ensure that you  
obtain the most from your camera experience, we have compiled this brief  
instruction guide to help you get started.  
However, since this is a Microsoft program we cannot offer any support  
for this product beyond what is outlined in this guide. To obtain addi-  
tional assistance with Microsoft NetMeeting, directly from Microsoft,  
please refer to the NetMeeting web site at: http://www.microsoft.com/

Connecting using an IP address:  
To have a direct connection with another user, you must first obtain an IP  
address. IP addresses for most dial-up connections will change every time  
you log on to the Internet. For this reason, you must get the IP address from  
the person you are trying to contact each time. You can also determine your  
IP address and then send it to the other person who will use Microsoft  
NetMeeting to call you.  
To obtain your IP address, first connect to your Internet Service Provider.  
Then use either Method A or B to determine your IP address.  
Method A:  
Start Microsoft NetMeeting and then click on Help->About Windows  
NetMeeting. You can see your IP address here (as shown below).

type: WINIPCFG  
If you are using Windows 2000, click on the Start button -> Run -> then type:  
IPCONFIG  
You can send your IP address to the person who you are calling or they can  
send you their IP address by e-mail or through an Instant Messaging  
application such as MSN Messenger.  
To connect to a person using their IP address, you can enter it into the  
highlighted area (as shown below). After you type in the person’s IP address,  
press “Enter” on your keyboard to connect.

Problem: Windows doesn’t detect the camera when you plug it into the  
USB port.  
Solution: When you plug in the camera after installing the drivers and  
software, Windows will detect the camera and begin installing the drivers  
for the IBM PC Camera. If you are getting no response from Windows  
when you plug the camera in, this can be a sign that your USB port is not  
configured properly, disabled, or has malfunctioned. If your motherboard  
requires a cable to connect the USB port, make sure that it is plugged in  
correctly. If you are unsure of the proper configuration, please contact your  
system or motherboard manufacturer. If your USB controller is not listed in  
the Device Manager, enable it in your system BIOS. Try using the camera  
on another system to verify that the camera is working properly.  
Problem: “Digital Video PC Camera is not connected to this computer”  
Solution: The camera may not be plugged into the computer or may  
have a driver conflict. Make sure the camera is snugly plugged into the  
USB slot on your computer, then try the camera software again.  
If this doesn’t help, click on Start->Settings->Control Panel->System-  
>Device Manager and check to see if you have a Universal Serial Bus  
Controller category. Under this category should have a USB Host  
Controller and a USB Root Hub.  
If you do not have this category, please contact your computer manufac-  
turer for assistance on enabling your USB ports. If you do have this  
category, check for another category in the Device Manager named  
Imaging Device. Under this category should be the IBM PC Camera.  
If the IBM PC Camera has a yellow “!” or red “X” next to it, this means it  
may have a problem with the software driver. Double-click on the IBM

Problem: “The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested  
operation. hr=0x80070618”  
Solution: Your computer may have mismatched versions of the  
Windows system files. Replace the mismatched files with the files from  
the IBM PC/Net Camera CD. The correct version of the Windows system  
files can be found under D:\Microsoft\WinXXXX where XXXX is the  
operating system you are using and D:\ is the letter of your CD ROM  
drive. To prevent any problems, backup the files that will be replaced  
before overwriting the files. These files are also available online at http://  
www.cameratechsupport.com/IBM.  
Problem: Nothing happens after I click the Send button or the program  
locks up in the Album.  
Solution: You need to configure your email program to be the default  
MAPI client correctly. You can also manually attach your files to your  
e-mail. Please refer to the section titled How to send Snapshots and V-mail  
for more information.  
Problem: “No e-mail agent found on this PC. Do you want to continue  
with video mail disabled?” message.  
Solution: You will get this message if the e-mail application you are using  
does not support MAPI functions such as America Online, CompuServe,  
Prodigy, Yahoo Mail, and other web-based email service. Programs such as  
Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, and Eudora support MAPI. However, your  
mail server needs to be able to use these programs. Contact your Internet  
Service Provider for assistance on configuring your outgoing mail server.  
AOL does not let you use third party e-mail programs. If you want to send the  
V-Mail that you recorded, you need to save it first. Then, open your e-mail  
application and attach the V-Mail.
