I cannot make Webcam show large when I am on MSN 9

Hi,

I have installed MSn messenger 9.0, but I cannot view anyone's cam on large,
and it doesn't even show it as an option. Only small and medium show up. I
have not had this problem on any version of MSn messenger. Is there anything
I can do?

Greetings Alex,

Are you using Windows XP? If so, this is a known problem.

My only real solution at the moment is just to uninstall 2009 (will be listed as Windows Live
Essentials in Add or Remove Pgroams) and go back to the previous version:

Hi Alex,

Well no, but what webcam model and manufacturer are you using?
