WebCam failure with New Meessenger 6.2

[Guest]

I get the following message and I have been able to use my
webcam before on the same computer. I have installed the
latest version of Messenger 6.2 and XP. My connection
states: you are connected to the internet through a UPnP
IP restricter NAT. The Internet Connection Firewall is
enabled (Administrator)

"You have invited J Gordon Bennett to start viewing

pending invitation.

Your conversation cannot begin because your camera is

is available and try again.

Technical problems prevent you from having a webcam
conversation at this time. Please try again later.

Any Ideas

Just curious, but is the driver for the webcam MS-signed? Also, does the
webcam work in other applications or is just MSN Messenger affected?

Sincerely,
