I had many problems with MSN Messenger several years ago (10) - I went to Yahoo and have not been disappointed at all - except if you have missed a notification (not in your email) online with Yahoo that your Messenger/IM has a newer update available, then it will not allow certain webcam activities with your chat buddy until you update.
since the cam works fine during the video call problems might be in your network connections..try using a different service provider like gmail or yahoo for the same video call after checking your network connections.(if you dont know how to do it, then click on the browser's (internet explorer or firefox)tools, >options>restore to defaults in the first tab itself)..
first you need to know that if you used xp ...and upgraded to vista ...you need to find a compatible driver for your web cam too ...if your web cam used to work just fine on vista ...and its just the msn issue ...just reinstall the latest MSN messenger and it should be enough ...also verify the proxy servers on the messenger preferences..and set 'em to fit the kinda conexion you use... but I suspect a problem with the program settings ...so the easy way is just to install the latest messenger(MSN) available for vista ...and it will be ok
