messenger and webcam by rockchick3542 on 10-16-2004 at 03:00 PM

Hi .. quick advice needed

my webcam has started playing up and havent a clue why.
when i try to use it through messenger it looks like its about to connect, but then all i get is a black fuzzy screen!
any ideas ....only thing i have done different is updated norton yesterday....not sure if this would affect it.
by the way when i look at cam on video companion its fine and i can see myself....so not sure why its doing this with messenger.
camera is logitech 4000 if that helps
