Brian, Thanks for the quick response. Some answers
1. No SP2 b/c this is a corporate laptop and they (the IS gurus) seem to fear that there are some SP2 conflicts with other corporate software. I doubt that really affects me since I mainly use the laptop outside of the hospital (and why I am not doing this on my desktop - behind all kinds of firewall stuff that get in the way - at home it is my little netgear wireless router with roadrunner broadband). 2. I "see myself" because that is what happens when I turn on the camera. It is true that once I turn on netmeeting, I can no longer see myself - as the LifeCam window goes gray with no picture, and instead I see the netmeeting window with the other party on-screen. But - this did remind me that I had ms messenger set up to open automatically. I will turn that off and see if that makes a difference - and at least in terms of the greying/dimming out, it did. Now I will try to get in touch with the folks on the other end (maybe not until Monday??) and see if this works. Thanks for getting me to think this through a bit more...
