plug and play web cam problem - Spykei - 11-17-2009 guys.. my web cam (plug and play type) wont show any video in WLM 2009, but windows (windows 7) shows that the driver (windows driver) is installed and up to date.... any ideas? RE: plug and play web cam problem - Skill - 11-17-2009 First of all, try this: Log in to Windows Live Messenger. Click Show Menu in the right hand corner and then click Show the menu bar. Click Tools on the menu bar and then click Audio and video setup. Click Next and then select your webcam from the drop down list. Click Finish. Your webcam should now be set up. If this doesn't help, let me know and i'll try to find another solution for you.
