    Anybody else having erratic use of the camera. I wanted to use it with IM programs like trillian or AIM, and while both will see the camera, I cant seem to connect to anyone with it without a connection failure.

    I dont think its broken as if I use the camera as a "camera" it works.

    you may want to look at the settings or options of the IM (i'm not familiar with the ones you use)

    I've gotten mine to work, but I've also had a little trouble, but I think the problem may be more related to network settings, ie firewalls and such. It may not even be a problem on your end.

    I had it working using aim/trillian at one point, but last time I tried, no success, but I'm thinking it was because of a firewall on the other end.
