I had my laptop repaired. Now when I go on Camfrog, I cannot get video streaming. It tells me to turn off my firewall. Or remove and re-install the program. I tried both and nil. I can go into the chat rooms, but I don’t hear sound or no streaming video would work. Aaaarrggg…please help.

Gannouchou69,

To use the 5.1 video system just read the instructions in this blog post and uncheck the box in the 5.2 version. Downloading 5.1 will not help anything.

The thing is, it’s not just “extremely old” systems that are not compatible with the new Camfrog rendering system. It’s basically any Dell/Gateway/Compaq/etc that isn’t a “modded” or “gaming” configuration. Assuming that many Camfrog users just buy standard pre-made mid-level configurations, there will be a large portion of us who have “on board video” that doesn’t support DirectX 9.0.

Even upgrading to a video card is sometimes a challenge. For example, in my case, I bought my Dell Dimension 3100 a little under two years ago. I tried upgrading to a new video card, but this system (and many other basic/midlevel systems) doesn’t have PCI-Express 2.0 slots that most video cards require these days, just PCI slots and 1 PCI-e 1.1 slot. On top of that, I tried to upgrade to a 128MB Nvidia PCI card that supports DirectX 9.0, but then it turned out that my power supply was only 230watts and generally cards above 64MB require 250+ watt power supplies. So until I buy a new system, I’m stuck with a 64MB card that doesn’t support DirectX 9.0. Thanks for at least letting us have the option of using the old rendering system. I think you underestimate how many of us really have to use it, if the option wasn’t there I’d guess that at least 20% of people on Camfrog would lose their video.

One problem I think might need tackling eventually is Camfrog Mac users. I’ve sent you an e-mail before about it. I’ve asked others if they experience this and I’m not the only one. Basically Camfrog Mac users used to have the BEST video quality by far. After about Camfrog 3.94, they all started randomly getting pixelation on their cams every 5-10 seconds. I guess it’s not THAT big of a deal, it’s just a shame that their technology is going to waste.
