i installed this digital camera that is supposed to work as a webcam 2... (and it did before, like 1 year ago)

well it works perfectly fine, until i want to start sending it...

i just did the setup thingie for audio/video, and i can see the image from the webcam there (just as supposed, i can just see wat my webcam is supposed to put trough).

then, when i try to start sending the webcam to some1 i get this 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."

i CAN view it in the setup, so it IS plugged in, i just reconnected it to my pc, so it cant be in use can it?

i tried:
~updating to latest software
~choosing another usb port

well, thats pretty much what most people here are gonna tell you to do, so... perhaps try another camera... What cam is it anyway??
 
it's an aiptek pocketcam 4000, about trying another cam, i might want to lend one sometime, check that out...
 
make sure msn is the only program using the webcam, u cant have 2+ programs looking through the webcam at the same time
 
I was sure about that... i deleted the drivers and all.... and reinstalled, all of a sudden worked :S anyway... thanks for ur help ;)
