Alright, I got a webcam and all worked well with everyone for a few days and then suddenly, out of nowhere, it stopped working with particular people.

Now I contacted windows live team and they helped me out, and to no avail. They sorted me out again, and still... to no avail. However, I have a feeling that it's not an msn problem. I cannot connect my webcam to about 50% of my contacts, for no reason at all, or so, that's how it'd seem. I tried with AIM too today, and the same person I couldn't connect with on msn, I cannot connect with on AIM.

Is this a port problem? What ports? My webcam still works with half the people, just not another half ;s.

Have you tested it out with any programs other than AIM and MSN? It doesn't seem likely it's a camera problem if it works at all elsewhere, have you tried a reinstall of the software since the problem started up?
