| 702046 | 2008-09-02 09:50:00 | Eee PC 701. Linux Is there anyway to have a vidio conference with a hotmail address. Worked out Pidgen wont support the camera so created a Skype account. Camera comes up ok in there but can't seem to call a hotmail address. Also the sound goes very faint in skype. |

| 702047 | 2008-09-02 10:02:00 | you could try installing amsn - I think that has webcam support. | Greven (91) | ||
| 702048 | 2008-09-02 11:35:00 | That may solve the problem or create another. I was hoping to use the system in it's original state. Failing that, XP is an alternative. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 702049 | 2008-09-03 02:55:00 | OK I've got this sorted, cant use hotmail address's. It has to be a Skype address. |

| 702050 | 2008-09-03 05:35:00 | AFAIK you'll need either Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live Messenger (both require Windows). Trillian Pro is an option but it costs money. (The free version doesn't do video.) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 702051 | 2008-09-03 23:10:00 | Thanks but I got the skype to work good in the end. The latest version found the webcam & once I got a skype address it was away. The sound problem has come right too. I have also installed it on my main desktop PC & found it to be better than Windows Live. |
