Windows Live Issues

I installed the new version of Windows Live and since then I have been unable
to do video calls with my family in Italy. As soon as I click to start the
call the program frezes. Anything I can do? I want my old version of MSN back
but I can't. Please advise.

Thank you

Re: Windows Live Issues

Greetings,

Unfortunately there no real known fix for this in 2009, but I would be interested in knowing
which model and manufacturer of webcam you're using.

However, there is no reason you can't downgrade. To do so, just head over to Add or Remove
Programs or Programs and Features in the Control Panel, choose Windows Live Essentials to
uninstall and then proceed to uninstall Messenger.

You can then re-install the previous version of Windows Live Messenger from here:
