Philips spc 700nc web cam

Camera installed ok and seems to work.
However everytime we start the camera up when winodows live messenger is running, msn is closed down.
If the camera is running we can open msn and use it until we ask to use the camera, at which point msn is closed down.

First of all, have you verified you are using latest version of MSN messenger. If so and the problem still exists, give one of the other instant messengers a try, say like YM or AIM or any number of others.
What exactly do you mean by ' seems to work '?? Can you see yourself in the cam using whatever software other then MSN that you may have on your computer.
