Web Cam freezes with Live Messenger

Can anyone advise how to deal with a cam freezing up with Live Messenger ?
I have searched on google and there seems to be a lot of discussion on this
topic - but no solutions that I can see. Both cams in a link are Logitech -
but the freezing only affects one person not both. The freeze is worse if
you do a video call - as then it just stops altogether. However if you
only do cam and no sound then it does freeze - but will unfreeze after a
while - and then freeze again.
Hope to hear some good news on this topic please :)

Two possible problems with that i too had that issue once. OS and cam have to
match. Bandwith of Video card(256MB or better) Cam's driver not up-to-date
see if Logitech has an update to it.
