Updated Messenger not working With Web cam in Windows Live Messenger - awroni - Feb 15, 2010

I installed Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 last summer and it worked beautifully
until I upgraded Windows messenger in January. Now I can't do a video call or
a voice call. It comes up with one of several messages.

It says "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later.
(0x8ac70202)" When I try to answer a call.

It says "We couldn't start your camera device. Please check that your camera
is not currently in use by another program, and then try again." When I try
to make a call.

It says "Your computer does not have a sound card, or a sound card is not
selected." at other times.
I know I have sound because everything else I do has the sound working. When
I go to adjust audio and video setting it tells me "we are unable to run
audio and video setup"

How do I solve this problem? I have uninstalled and re installed the webcam
software.
Please help.
