| | Webcam not connecting. Hello, I'm using Live 8.5.1302.1018 on Windows XP. In messenger, I can chat fine but when I try to make a video call it stalls and says "Connecting with (username)..." and eventually just stops. My video feed pops up, and the ad plays, but it just stops there. I've tried re-installing MSN, re-installing the drivers for the webcam, stopping both firewalls (Windows and iolo Personal Firewall), allowing full access to MSN on iolo, connecting directly to the modem (as opposed to through the router) and making sure I had the ActiveX controls. The cam works fine on Stickam, and as a mic in Ventrilo, but I just can't connect to anybody now. It used to work fine (on an older machine, different house, with a different ISP) but now it doesn't. Aggravating. Thanks for the help! -w- |

| | RE: Webcam not connecting. Hello, Looks like I have exactly the same problem. So far, all suggestions I received did not correct it. I even went to reformat and reinstall my system. Funny, right after I installed Windows XP SP2 and WLM, it worked. I completed reinstalling all the software and....problem is back! I am getting desperate. I you have found a possible solution, please, let us know. Thank you.
