Windows live messenger crashes when try to view webcam
Hi there,
Whenever I want to view someone's webcam on Live Messenger, the messenger crashes while it's connecting and I have to restart Live Messenger. I cannot view webcam as its happening again and again. Anybody facing the same problem and have any solution?
Thank you in advance.

Your webcam drivers could be corrupted. Try uninstalling and then getting the latest drivers from webcam's manufacturer website. Uninstall all Messenger add-ons. Try using another webcam. Try logging on to Web Messenger and check if the problem still exists.

I think you had a problem with your Messenger. Try to reinstall it. If you have beta version, then install the proper updated version.

Go to windows live messenger Menu =>Tools =>Options =>Connections and make sure it says you are connected through a UPnP port. WLM depends on this for voice and webcam to function properly. You can then enable and disable UPnP whenever you need to. It can take a little time for your system to recognize once you enable it.
