Does any one have any ideas, I reinstalled the camera software with latest drivers, and we tried sykpe, where my contact could see me, but he hadnt set up skype properly Thanks in advance for the help	ewendudson (12081)

When I checked further, I found she had an earlier version of MSN messenger. Her choice, as the latest version always causes her computer to freeze. It worked well with the two other contacts I checked with. Hopefully, you can add a couple of reliable contacts to test with (relatives come in handy). Make sure both of you both have plenty of ram. Good luck, Marnie	Marnie (4574)

Family friends in Australia were desperate to try out their cam, at the time they were dialup. It did work, to a point...but quality was poor and I kept getting little messages about that. Incidentally, a friend in Quebec has dialup and hers is fantastic.	Marnie (4574)
