one of the worse Video call messenger in the world

did anyone try using the Video Call form a Vista system calling to another
Vista system? the echo was so bad, it's so bad that you can't even hear
anything other than the echo! I tried with my Micosoft VX-6000 calling to my
sister system. Both of our OS is running Vista. We design try with XP and
the video call working fine, even Vista calling XP seem working fine (still
some echo), but once we switch back to Vista calling Vista, it become
un-usable again. It's another reason don't use Vista.

Tune your mic levels in Vista.

Greetings,

It's possible on of the Vista machines does not have echo cancellation turned on.

To verify that is turned on, press Alt-T in any Messenger window, then choose Audio and video
setup. During the wizard, you'll find a option labeled 'Click here if you are using
headphones'. Make sure this box is unchecked for echo cancellation to be turned on.
