wor lass has FINALLY got a machine that she can connect to SH to, at home.

Never one for an easy life she has a HP web book with integral camera... woop woop splendid says...

Unfortunately. we can neither download messenger or get the 'Gaim' messenger system, that is in with Linux operating system that she purchased, to utilise the camera. Now, this may not be much of a problem as she can look knackered when working a long day. But at least with a working camera I would have the option of viewing or not.

Please... how can we either install MSN messenger (no CD drive) or use the camera with Linux's 'Gaim' messenger thingiemebob.
in edit- the HP notebook thing doesn't even know it has a camera... so can't get it to recognise itself. (can hardware be using some sort of hallucinogen?)

Answers on a postcard.

super

thanks in advance

This may be a really silly question but why are you using Linux and not XP or Vista??

I know a lot of folks do use Linux but in your case I am not sure why you have it???

net books ususally come pre loaded with an op system and the cheaper ones seem to opt for Linux as you can save a whole load of cash if you don't have to pay Mr Gates for his shiney, shiney quality op system icon_rolleyes.gif

Splendid, you should have a usb port, to install it form a memory stick, or a flash drive of some sort on the web book, possibly a CF or SD card. If you can plug it into another pc (maybe using a card reader- only about £5 from ebuyer) you can copy the install for Messenger onto it, you still need to be online to install it though.
If you can't find the install or get it in (think you might need a few other Microsoft things like Dotnet) you know where to find me (yep, i'll be on MSN laughing at you) icon_mrgreen.gif

gaim (or pidgin as it is now) doesn't support webcams yet. Do you happen to know what distribution of linux it's running or what kernel version?

This MSN client does:

http://www.amsn-project.net

But it's not clear if linux is recognising the webcam, try aMSN for starters and if it doesn't work, then more information will be required about the flavour of linux being run.

Do you have a firewall switched on?

(go to start, settings, control panel, network and internet settings and click the firewall option. make sure it says 'on')

Do you have a wireless internet system? is it encrypted? (it should be, or someone can access your network/pc/internet connection if it isn't)

In windows media player, go to options and then the performance tab. click the 'set buffer to x seconds' option and have a play with that, see what happens. might be worth testing your internet connection speed too and maybe try doing the old cache clear/update everything thing icon_wink.gif
