    Webcam effecting my volume when using Windows Live Messanger
    « on: December 11, 2008, 06:57:22 PM »
     recently got a Logitech Quickcam (which has a built in mic) for my notebook. Whenever I use it with Windows Live the first time I connect, everything is perfect. However, every time I reconnect after that it lowers my volume whenever the mic picks up a sound. It also says that Windows Live had to be shut down for trying to access sensitive files and something built into Vista called Data Execution Prevention (DEP), but it never shuts it down. I have went into this DEP's settings, but I can't get it to ignore Windows Live because it's not an .exe extension, even though it shuts down msnmsgr.exe! It's not a major problem, but it gets REALLY annoying and effects me from having a good conversation.

    I have tried vertually everything I can think of to stop this from happening, as I'm fairly handy with computers, but nothing seems to work. I reinstalled the software, tinkered with my settings in sound and microphones. I even tried Logitech's forums, but they were absolutely no help.

    If anyone could help me, that would be awesome.

    I don't have Windows Live myself, but I thought I would get you started.

    What Operating System is this?

    When did the problem start?

    What is the exact error message?

      Vista.
      Since I installed it.
      I don't get an error message persay, it just states in a little window near the task bar that Windows Live had to be shut down.

        It's version 2008 (build 8.5.1302.1018).

        The problem reporter pops up and states: "Windows Live Messenger was closed. To help protect your computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed Windows Live Messenger. Click here to learn more."
        Clicking there just tells you what DEP is, and how to disable it, but it does not do so with msnmsgr.exe. Also, this does not close the program like it says.
