aw and win7 - im really fed up now!
i got a new laptop this summer, it came with win7. ever since then camming on aw has turned into a nightmare for me.
if i use the regular justcamit programme, members say that my video freezes after about 2 minutes. so, they would just leave and never come back. yey hooray for 2 min long privates.
if i use the online version of justcamit lite, most guys just dont see me at all. they come in, hang there for their 10-15 secs, i see in their bandwidth as 0, they cant see me, they just leave. if someone is patient (and they rarely are), after maybe 30 seconds they see me. yet very often their bandwidth remains at 0, then goes to 3, then goes back to 0 and they never see me. ive tried four different browsers. nah, still the same.
the only reply ive got from aw regarding this is that justcamit isnt really win7 compatible.
what, am i the only one in the world who has win7? its not like win7 was released two weeks ago and they didnt have time to adjust their camming software accordingly. it was released back in 2009! thats two years ago.
anyway, im kind of in the mood to give up on aw until there's a new version of justcamit available. like, today - ive made 3 credits there. thats from 16 guys who didnt see me.
maybe someone has come up with some brilliant solution to this aw/win7 problem?
Re: aw and win7 - im really fed up now!
Have you tried running it in compatibility mode?

That's odd. I use Win7 also and I've not had any issues with JCI (both web based and regular app).
Not sure if it makes any difference, but I'm using Win7 Professional.
Just tell me to shut up if I'm being Miss Obvious here, lol... but are you up to date with all Windows Updates etc? Flash Players, latest webcam drivers etc etc?
I've found in the past, when I was using WinXP that I'd have to, from time to time, clear out my browsing data and start afresh. 9 times out of 10 it would sort out any issues with web based JCI.
Re: aw and win7 - im really fed up now!
Also, yes yes YES!!! They really need to update that bloody software. Lazy ass coders >:(

It works fine for me. I have issues with the HD encoder (streamate) and windows 7, but AW is fine. You know though, AW itself has been having streaming issues, so that's probably what it is.

yep, everything is up to date. i have some win7 ultimate - so i guess thats something different, not the same one you have.
ive heard from others who use win7 that they have the same issues. ok, three more people. so, that makes us four, me and those thee others.
for the rest of the world, aw's running smoothly :D

totally different story here - i used to have encoder issues with my old pc (xp on it), but now with win7 it looks like all the sites where encoder is needed, run just sooooo perfectly.
Re: aw and win7 - im really fed up now!
^ I have the same prob as you gingergina - SM encoder is fine but AW just doesn't work for me since I upgraded computer

Re: aw and win7 - im really fed up now!
I've had a new computer for a couple of weeks now, using W7 and IE8 no problems with justcammit yet although I have had a message for a new version but I'm a little bit worried about installing it incase everything goes tits up! lol

nope no solution for me. I sometimes use old laptop - but mainly don't work on AW anymore because of it. Last time I worked I ended up just doing skype shows.
