I had to install a new hard drive. I have the Microsoft disc to load Life Cam
1.1. For some reason it take me to the web site to DL Windows Live Mesenger,
Windows Live Messenger fails to DL. Why can't Microsoft just have the
program on the disc that comes with the video cam . It worked fine on my old
HD.
