Like everyone else on the planet, I was forced to 'upgrade' to Messenger 2009. Upon doing so, my webcam and mic TOTALLY shut down. The thing was simply loaded with bugs. After trying every fix I could find, nothing worked, and I contacted a somebody I'm very close with who works for Microsoft. He directed me to their discussion/help forum since he didn't know how to fix my problem.
Here's where I ended up:

I did it, and it now appears to be working BRILLIANTLY! HUGE HUGE THANKS TO MR. KAY!!!!!!
Now, to change the subject...
I finally splurged and bought a new snorkel. The mouthpiece may be a tad tough to replace if I bite through it like I am prone to doing, but I love it! It's made by TUSA. It's lightweight and very comfortable. It was totally worth the money! It's worked beautifully in the pool, and I'm heading to the beach asap to try it out for real!
Peace and especially peace be upon you if you've had to deal with the 2009 version of Messenger.
