I upgraded to the latest version of windows live messenger, and ever since my
webcam wont work

This occurs with two different webcams, A creative 580 AF and a logitech Orbit

If i revert to the older version of messenger it works fine again, but with
the new version i get teh message that my camer is either not connected or is
in use, which it is not. I am using Vista Ultimate x64

I also installed Windows 7 Beta on a seperate computer, installed windows
live, it worked fine for 3 days, no it is giving me the same message, that
teh camera is not connected to teh computer or is in use by another program.
There seems to be some serious flaw with the latest version of messenger
