don't no if this will help Terrance but the same thing happened to me on yahoo com. make sure the speed of the webcam is the same as your internet connection;broadband,dsl,dialup etc. And check your proxies. if U R behind a firewall U have 2 open a 'exceptions port' . Go 2 control panel,security, firewall,exceptions tab.if theres no msn webcam box 2 tick U might have to add 1. hit 'add port'; and this is where we must part. I named mine webcam.yahoo.com with a port number of 5100. not havin DL'ed MSN don't no what your's might be, maybe webcam.msn.com.

i don't no Y i've just written all this ***** as it prob won't help U at all. surly theres' a help page on this???

I don't know what the problem is but you could try just talking on msn voice and using yahoo messenger for the cam at the same time.
