Windows Live Messenger Not working

Mine is working but I doesn't seed my webcam, Which button do I have to
push to see my webcam?. In Yahoo messenger I can click on "my webcam" but On
Window live messenger, I either don't know or it doesn't recognize my
webcam.

Dave,

yup,
an upgrade install huh?
betcha had flashplayer installed in xp huh?
and prolly java also.
For Vista-and more importantly for Undead Messenger(well-it ain't "LIVE")
you need to have the latest Adobe Flashplayer 9 installed.
If not, WLM will crash every time.
make sure you uninstall the current flashplayer before you go to install the
newest one from

www.adobe.com

Also, on a side note, in Vista you need Java 6-not Java 5 update 11
like in XP
get it here, not the same page you are used to in XP-

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

and pick this one-
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6
The Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java
applications.

it's about 1/2 way down the page.

I also had this problem with Live Messenger, It was caused by java platform
6 Once I uninstalled java , Live Messenger worked Fine ever Since
Hope this helps you :-)

Uninstall it then go to the Live Messenger website, download and
reinstall it.


I experienced the same as you and this cured it for me.
