Webcam issue with windows live messenger 2009?
-
For a while now I've been having trouble using my webcam with windows live messenger 2009. The webcam is built into my laptop. It works fine with all other software like skype and the imaging software, but when i try to use it with messenger it comes up and can recognize me for about 10 seconds then says cannot connect. Any ideas?
