Hello, I'm residing in Taiwan and I have that problem once in awhile, too. It occurs more often lately. Even more so, starting two days ago, my webcam on msn live msger keeps freezing at some point and shuts off by itself, while the other party's webcam is still functioning. At first I thought it was my built-in webcam's problem (on my laptop), but when I was chatting with my webcam on my desktop at my office, the same thing keeps happening. I also used ccleaner to clean/fix my laptop and desktop, but it is still happening. I don't know why my webcam keeps shutting off by itself. I am beginning to wonder if the problem lies in the Internet connection or msn live msger itself. Anybody got an idea? I am desperate for a solution... sigh.

Same problem here... started happening some weeks ago.

My contacts see my cam fine, but I cannot see theirs. Their cam just keeps on loading without it ever completing.

Nothing yet, but I still have the same problem. Totally reproducable. Tried on several computers at home and the same. I am thinking it might be my router with inbuilt firewall, but it has all the firewall options turned off and it has worked before (and there have been no configuration changes since).

What do countries and mail options have anything to do with a webcam? Why would that even begin to work?

I had the same problem, but i resolve doing this:

Unistall Windows Live Messenger
Erase the installation folder and this (XP): .\Documents and Settings\All Users\WLinstaller (or something that begins with WL and sound like that)
in Vista is in .\ProgramData\
REBOOT: REALLY IMPORTANT, I DID IT WITHOUT REBOOT AND DIDN'T WORK
After reboot, reinstall.
And everything's done.
Good luck! Smile
