Vista - Microsoft Life Cam VX-3000 locking up in Windows Live Messenger

**muskegman1** · 11-25-2008

Hello I have a Microsoft Life-Cam VX-3000 which worked fine in XP but will not work at all on my new HP m8400f media centre computer. The new computer came pre loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I have downloaded the appropriate drivers for the camera to get it to work in Vista but everytime i try sending video in Windows live it just locks up solid. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you updated the video card drivers on your machine? Also, might help to state which version of WLM you're using....
