Windows Vista and Windows Live Messenger

Whenever you try to accept a webcam in Windows Live Messenger on Vista Home
Basic, it decides to crash.

Is this a known bug? Or is there any fix. That's not sending webcam but
accepting it, so it's not the driver issue that I've seen before.

Greetings,

I haven't tried in Home Basic personally, but this would be covered by the standard Microsoft
testing process so I doubt it's an OS specific thing what you're seeing.

Are you sure it's accepting a "webcam" and not "video call"? A video call would start video
on your side and therefore could crash due to bad webcam drivers on the side of the user.
