Windows Update Kills Webcam
My webcam worked absolutely perfectly until just now. It was fast, smooth, and just worked.

I just ran windowsupdate and installed a bunch of fixes and security updates and everything like that.

Now when I use my webcam, it connects, but it updates VERY slowly.. like one frame every five or so seconds.

I found a similar problem in the yahoo section of this site that said that yahoo crashes if you try to use the webcam after running windowsupdate. They have a fix there.. but unfortunately I have been unable to find one in the MSN section of the site.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!!

Do you remember what it was you installed from Windows Update? It's also possible another application is hogging the connection.
It is in changing we find purpose
