My girlfriends cam is not working on my messenger.  Her cam works perfect on other peoples MSN but not on mine. It says I automatically decline the invitation as soon the call happens.

I did a complete reformat of vista 64 and a clean install of Windows yesterday and the exact problem is happening. Instant Declined Invite. Her cam works on Yahoo messenger perfectly BUT YAHOO SUCKS. Im guessing its a compatibility issue with vista 64 since I just did a complete re install and nothing fixed.

HELP PLEASE!

from what i recall 64bit drivers for Vista sucked majorly. but what Model Webcam is it?

It turns out I reformated for no reason she was using an older version of MSN. The old version had a 'Show Webcam' button instead of 'Video Call' for streaming webcam.

However Im still having a problem as soon as she presses Video Call it says'Press Accept or Deny' then immediately says 'You have missed a video call from XX' please check you have a webcam plugged in.

I dont have a working webcam.

My question is do you both need to have a webcam for Video Call Feature or should Video call work with only one person having a cam?

No, you don't both need webcam, it will just show up as an empty box for her.

Sending a single webcam has been removed from the forthcoming WLM 2011 and it was also removed from a recent minor update to WLM 2009.  Video-call will work if only one person has the webcam, but sending webcam by itself will not.

I've noticed if your up to date the your contact isn't you cant have ANY sort of web cam communication at all.

That's not true, I've managed this with several contacts who are on the older version

Well, when people try to have a video call the send it and it automatically closes. I don't even see the invitation.

Same happens when I send the invite - they don't see but, but I do.

Weird .
