I would suggest using iChat which works well with AIM accounts and what not, but if I understand you right you have a messenger account, and if so I can't help you, but do try searching google some more as I'm sure you probably already have.

unless there have been upgrades to iChat since I stopped using it, the video support was horrible. More than half the time I tried to use it when my girlfriend was away at school it wouldn't connect, maybe it was something with AIM on her side

There are a few strange fixes for this, one of which being unchecking everything the the sharing preferences pane restarting iChat and trying again, I have no idea why that worked but it worked for me for some reason.

The iChat application would not open?? And what type of instant messaging account do you have? Is it AIM or something else?

I have to go to sleep now, since it is 2 in the morning where I am, but I will be able to help you late in the morning.

Ok here's a question related to the webcam (but not iChat). Is there a specific program I can run to just have the webcam take pictures or video without being connected to an IM service?

Yep, it's called Photo Booth, do a spotlight search for it (press cmd+space or click the little magnifying glass in the top right of the menu bar) or look in the applications folder, nifty little program with lots of cool effects.

And a final good night (morning actually) to everyone.
