video doesn't work

can anyone help me out here I have a cam and it doesn't work when I am in
conversation. I went to audio and video setup and it works there but when I
go to webcam settings it doesn't show my cam and when I try to use it all I
get is a black screen.
thanks in advance

Greetings,

What kind of camera is this? Manufacturer and model would be helpful.

Similar situation. Using XP, Philips SPC900NC/27 webcam. Feature was working
before, not anymore, probably after I upgraded to WindowsLiveMessenger.
Contacted Philips, not their problem since I can see myself in the WLMsngr
setup, they indicated a possible problem in the "communications layer" but
offered no help/troubleshooting (also tried webcam in another computer and
works fine). Any incompatibility with previous MSN messenger versions? Text
messages OK. Any ideas/ settings/ troubleshooting. Regards.

My picture is fine but the audio doesnt work. Cant seem to get it to work. I
don't know if another audio program on my computer is blocking it or what.
