| Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 85 posts Belgium | webcam works, only if I get invited on WLM Hello guys I use Windows Live Messenger 9 (because I hate the 2010 version). When my mates invite me for a videoconversation, my webcam works. But when I want to invite them, it says I don't have a webcam. Anyone had this problem? I even did a format C:\ for this, but it didn't solve the problem. My webcam drivers are installed. When I go to audio & video settings (in WLM), my webcam is just being recognized so I click "finish". After that I invite my mate to have a video conversation, but I only see his webcam, my webcam is drawn as "not available" and WLM tells me to buy a webcam. This is a built-in laptop webcam... |

What version (date) are the webcam drivers? Is there a yellow triangle over them in device manager? |
