Okay, so DB is in Afghanistan. He has FINALLY been moved out of the tent and into a room type thingie, its like a b-hut. He paid $40 a month to have internet connection so we could chat and use webcams. Well, he is having a hard time Downloading ANY of these messenger services: Yahoo, MSN, and AIM. What else can you use a webcam with, or do any of you know why he is having a hard time DLing them? He has been on MyspaceIM and has been able to chat with me on that, but I dont think u can use webcam on myspaceim.....and ideas or thoughts ladies???? Thanks for ur help!

the connection sucks...thats why he cant dl anything.

DB has a terrible time dl'g ANYTHING...it just takes FOREVER! Not to mention he gets kicked off regularly...like now :irked

just tell him to set it to dl and leave it alone...it will eventually get done albeit slowly....VERY slowly..

:goodluck

my DH and i also have problems camming through yahoo. sometimes we get cut off but what is weird is that sometimes we see ourselves double! anyone ever have that problem? i've researched it but can't find a resolution :(

hmm....try Skype

hmm....try Skype

:agree...otherwise can he go to the big internet center, hook up his computer there, download whatever, and then take it back to his room to use? might work...worth a shot...i think microsoft portrait too...try it!

Sightspeed worked good for us.
