Running Windows XP Pro, ADSL connection, XP firewall.

My webcam works fine in other chat programs, but not at all in Windows
Messenger or MSN Messenger.

It tells me the other computer can't accept my invitiation, even though they
can webcam perfectly well with other messenger users. I've tried this with
several people - same each time - their systems work fine with others, but
my system says their system can't accept my invitation.Very weird.

I've tried turning off the real-time virus scan, but that makes no
difference.

Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA
Andrew
