Why doesn't my webcam work with MSN messenger?

Windows live messenger - says i have no webcam.?

  • I have a samsung R510 with a built in camera. the camera works, ive updated drivers and software from the samsung website as well. I can create video calls, but i cannot send webcam. contact complain of me declining invites. but i dont recieve invites? i go to actions > video and it says start a video call OR get a webcam. I ALREADY HAVE ONE. the camera has worked within messenger absolutely fine untill recently it doesnt work at all. like i say, the camera itself works OK but just not in msn. can someone please help? no time wasters please.

Is it a possibility that you're in Safe Mode? If so, you need to startup in normal mode. I'm no computer whizz, but that's all I got ):
