Hi everyone :)

As you can probably guess from my name, I'm new to the Mac scene, and the OSX environment. I have been using windows computers for many years, but my knowledge of OSX is lacking somewhat.

I have bought myself a PowerBook G4 and everything is working great, it does everything my old windows computer did, but better.

The only gripe I'm having with it, is that Messenger:Mac does not allow you to use a webcam?:\

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way I could have a webcam conversation with my girlfriend who has a windows computer? And anyone else using a windows computer with MSN? I have tried mercury messenger, and it just says connecting for ages and gives out in the end.

Any help would be really appreciated :)

Thanks in advance guys!

Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
You may need to go to the developers website for that webcam and install drivers for your OS X.
It could be a host of other possibilities so here is a link if the drivers aren't the case.
