    There are still a lot of problems with the new 9.0 version so you are better off uninstalling it and going back to the 8.1 version.

    I do recommend you get the 8.1.0.421 version as it is the most

    stable a bug free version of messenger !!

    When you download it just save it to your desktop and then run

    the installer from there.

    If you have XP just double click on it to start the install.

    If you are on Vista you will need to Right click on it

    (the installer you just downloaded) then

    click "Run as Administrator" to get it to install correctly.

    Also be sure you still have the correct camera source chosen >>

    Click Messenger and select "My Webcam."

    Click Messenger again, and now select Preferences.

    Click Webcam.

    At the top, click Camera Source.

    From the pull-down menu, select the camera you want to use.

    Click OK
