Ok so my cam is loading black and wont let me open other cams. They just keep loading and loading and no picture. Didn't happen yesterday so not sure what changed. My cam works elsewhere and I still use IE7. Any suggestions??

check
1) screen resolution
2) refresh rate (graphic settings)
3) any new video/audio apps that may have been installed could install a codec that messes things up...
