    MSN crashing, please help

    Hi, my MSN keeps crashing, it happens whenever I click the option to send webcam, or audio, and the annoying thing is , it also crashes when people send me audio or webcam.
    Does anyone know whats wrong, or how to fix this?

    Can you provide more information please.

    OS version, MSN Messenger version, any firewalls, when did it start, has it always done this?

    Dan Mumford,

    have you tried reinstalling MSN Messenger? Do you have a firewall? Do you have any addons or plugins? What do you have for an internet connection? sorry for all the questions, and hopefully we can solve this problem.

    i have broadband internet, and I have had this for about a year and a half, so that has nothing to do with it as this problem only occured in the last week or so.
    and I have reinstalled a couple times and it still happens

    have you made any recent changes to your system to possibly cause this? Updating or upgrading anything? Are you sure you have the latest drivers and such for your video hardware? Perhaps you could look into that.

    Have you tried having video conference in Windows Messenger to see if that works?


    P.S.
    The edit button () will be at the top of your post with the rest of those icons.
