You need to uninstall the latest version of live messenger. Then go to Microsofts download website and download the 2008 version of messenger. I think that you find it will then work.<BR /><BR />Good luck.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:19:35 GMT https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/motion-eye-camera-with-windows-live-messenger/m-p/72003#M54659 Keith47 2009-04-16T22:19:35Z
