MSN Messenger 6.1 issue

[sa]

Logitech Quickcam 3000 pro does not work with MSN Messenger 6.1 and
Windows Messenger

I run WindowsXP SP2 on an AMD 1200 Desktop,
I am using Logitech Quickcam pro 3000 with latest drivers (from
windows.update site: 7.0.0.1221)
This webcam works perfectly with
- Yahoo Messenger
- all Logitech applications

It does no work with
- Windows Messenger
- MSN Messenger 6.1

I am puzzled.
What happens is that MSN Messenger can detect it, and make me believe
my Quickcam is properly installed, I can see my face!.
But then, when I want to establish a webcam connection with a friend,
a blue window is shown and no settings can be adjusted.

If I open MSN Messenger 6.1 > Web Camera Settings > a blue screen is
shown on the left side and no settings can be adjusted (in the same
conditions, my laptop instead shows the frame being recorded and i CAN
change all the settings)

If I try to establish a webcam connection, of course, my friend see
nothing and no mirror image of myself is shown (Messenger bottom-right
frame shows a still picture)
In the same conditionm, using my laptop, logitech 3000 pro shows my
face (mirror frame bottom right) and my friend can see me with no
problem at all.

TESTS
I have tried re-installing Logitech original drivers, no improvements.

I have tried to install Logitech on my Compaq 2800T laptop, winXP SP2,
here webcam works fine with MSN Messenger 6.1, no problem at all!
Drivers are the same: 7.0.0.1221

Please help

Thanks
