General Chat

thanks dee and ann!!! think i might have it!! xxx

Lynda Unless some one has already said this,there is quite a time delay when you are talking to Oz ,that's when you are up and running,i find it best to let the other person do the talking then wait and then you talk or it all get's jumbled up ---at least that's what happen's when i talk to Oz but it's great.

thanks for all your help allie i will keep you posted!!!

Try 'Judy in the States' ? Allie x

Try getting onto the microsoft site or the manufacturer's (camera) site. Look at FAQ's - there are settings on the browser (Internet Explorer), which you may need to adjust for 'file sharing'. Sorry but we've only set it up for a Mac and not PC! Let me know how you get on. Hope you get somewhere with this - have to go now! Allie x

thanks dee i will give it a go!! xxx

I have webcam etc. and a Net Passport with MSN. I believe you are meant to click on 'Have a Video Conversation', when you are online with the person you wish to talk to. This means you should be able to see them with their camera on, and chat too. However, I have never been able to set this up with my cousin in Canada, and I have never found out why it doesn't work!!! Only way it seems to work is through WINDOWS Messenger, so if you have that, give it a try! By the way...hopefully both your cameras have microphones built in..or you have headsets? You can't chat without a microphone. Dee x

yeah but seem to get know where!! xxx

Have you tried clicking on anything to see what happens? (I do this kind of thing all the time!) Allie x

not sure!! think im gonna have to do some sort of course to learn about these things cause im starting to get a bit too well known for being thick!!!! lol xxx

Well on the Mac you have to 'invite' the other person to the video chat by clicking on the camera icon. Don't know if it the same on the ole pc though! Allie

yes did get software and can see myself on screen but i thought we both had to go onto 'something' to be able to speak?? xxx

Hubby says - You should have got some software with the webcam! If you can see yourself on the screen (you do have to plug it in the right place) your friend should be able to see you! Allie x

hi allie yes its a pc!! xxx

Hi! Are you on a pc or apple mac? I use the web cam on our apple macs and you need the iChat programme. Think it's different for the PC! Allie x
