When I try to send my webcam to a contact I get this message:

I'm using WLM 8.0.792 with Messenger Plus! 4.01.240.  I've used the Mess Patch as well.  My webcam is built into my laptop monitor.  It's a BisonCap webcam.

I can turn it on and take pictures outside of WLM so I know it's available.  I've checked the processes menu in task manager and nothing appears for the webcam, but anytime I try to send it in WLM I get this message.  Any ideas on what I should do?

Try going to Tools > Audio and Video Setup and see if everything's all good in there. If  it is, then I would install the drivers for the webcam again.

Thanks for your reply. It's working in the Audio/Video setup (even though it wasn't last night) but it's still not sending.  I'll look into reinstalling the drivers and hope that helps.

I have a VERY strong feeling it is a bug on the servers. This exact same error is happening to me, and all of my friends with cams. Wlm takes like 5-10 minutes to sign in, and in generally VERY slow.

I think it may have to do with the yahoo stuff, but I'm not sure. I hope this gets fixed soon... and I mean very soon.
