When I click on share cam in MSN Messenger to load cams it goes straight to Video Cam, which is voice/cam. Not sure why this is happening. I didnt have this problem with IE, but when I installed new hard drive I also switched to Firefox. All drivers are up to date, and MSN has been reinstalled several times.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Installed new hard drive and started using Foxfire

its the Latest msn! they have taken away individual webcams (because MSN are stupid) now it is only possible to do video calling!

you have to downgrade to a different build of windows live. msn are stupid for removing the single webcam feature. but if you downgrade to another build (which i don't know, sorry.) it will definitely work.
