O.P. Problems with Webcam and audio
Every once in a while (1-2 months) WLM refuses to start correctly for me. I get an entry in task manager saying its running, but other than that, nothing happens. To fix this, I have found by trial and error that deleting the reg keys in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSN Messenger (but not sub-keys) allows WLM to start again.

Now, after I do this, I am unable to send/receive webcam nor voiceclips. WLM will lock up, and I need to end task through task manager. The same thing will happen even if I'm logged in as another Live account, not logged in at all (running the Audio/Video setup wizard through the tools menu before signing in) or even doing any of this through another Windows user account.

Now, in the past, it has just randomly started working again after some time (few days to a few weeks), and I have no idea what has fixed it.

What I have done so far:
Complete clean re-install of WLM
Repair install of WLM
Running with no addons (Plus and StuffPlug)
New user account in Windows
New user account in WLM

None of these has worked so far

I cannot hear you. There is a banana in my ear.
