Vista - live video problems

Hi all

I searched the group but couldn't find a fix for this problem, please help.



I start up windows 2000 and crank up windows live

I check that the video camera is working.

I cannot video the other party as the video line is greyed out.

the other party calls me and I accept the call

I can see his video but he cannot see me.

The issue here is that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't.

Is there a check list of things I could try before giving in?


thanks in advance

harry
