Every time I try to use my web cam it gives me the error:
Your conversation cannot begin because your camera is currently in use or
not plugged in. Make sure your camera is available and try again.
Technical problems prevent you from having a webcam conversation at this
time. Please try again later.

But my camera will work on my co-workers computer.
 
Greetings Alex,

Do you happen to be using MSN Messenger 7 Beta? If so, some cameras don't presently work in
7 (but do work in 6). You'll have to downgrade for the time being in order for this to work.

No, I am currently using 6.2, and the camera works on yahoo messenger and on
my coworkers computer with messenger. I thought maybe it was some kind of
setting. Thanks, alex
 
hey Jonathan,
The camera is a 'Orange Micro iBOT2 USB 2.0'. But I think the problem is
some kind of setting because, like i said before, it works on the same
computer with yahoo messenger.
