• Answer:

  It would have been useful to tell us which model webcam you have, not just the range. Anyway, this should work: Uninstall your current drivers and software. Reboot your computer. Download the latest driver from the manufacturer of your webcam and install it. Reboot your computer. Plug in the webcam. Reboot the computer if necessary. Now go to the chat program you're trying to use (in your case MSN, i.e. Windows Live) and use their audio/video wizard to make it sure it will "play" properly with your cam. P.S. I know that all the rebooting can be a pain in the neck, but I have found webcams to be "touchy" at times, and the rebooting makes sure it all happens properly. It is also important to do all the installations in the exact right order.
