Cheers Scotty,

I've purchased two Logitec STX web cams, both very fast spec so i don't think its the camera's. So far i've tried MSN, Google Talk, Skype and Camfrog plus the Logitech Software that came with the camera. All of which have the same problem, the images transmit ok but after about one minute of web chat the sound has an eppy and just sounds like a load of wasps, MSN say its due to the amount of traffic going through!! Whats NetMeeting then? i'll have a look on Google but yes if you could help me out in anyway that would be great cheers.
