When I'm in a chat room, or in a conference, I send out a clicking sound which registers on the meter, but I cannot hear it. However I have another communications program I use for gaming with a dedicated server, that works fine with no clicking sound being sent, so It doesnt appear to be my laptop. I've tried deleting from registry and reinstalling messenger with no luck. Any suggestions? HELPPPPPPP PLEASEEEEE

If your messing with your regestry, you probably already tried this...but...just in case. Control panal, sounds&volume, try disabling net meeting, or anything else that looks like its "chat" oriented. GL =) Red
