I speak with a friend of mine in the marines in japan, but my webcam and video chat freezes too much. i have a brand new hp pavillion intel pentium duo core. 320 hdd, 3gb ram. i was wondering if purchasing a stonger video/graphic card could help but not sure. i would like to speed things up. Can you give me some advice on boosting up my pc so that this problem come to an end. Its so frustrating. the cam is new and it works, the built in mic is crystal clear. but after a few minutes, the pixels look funny because my friend is full of squares and i freeze too. i have to restart the computer everytime. i have a logitech quick cam E3500. I just want fast and same live time movement, not, the person say something and 1-2min later the lip movement. Can you please help?
This probally wouldnt have anything to do with the webcam its self but the internet connection, One of you might have a slow connection and i suggest that you upgrade your internet speed

Hi,
I have a toshiba satellite too. I had the same problem when i had just
bought my laptop. It seems like it is a software or driver problem,
nothing wrong with the hardware. Do this once or twice and this problem
wont reoccur, it hasn't for me again. Go to device manager and disable
the webcam, restart the computer then go back and enable it. Now the
webcam will for fine with all instant messengers. I remember donig this
few times when my laptop was new. Now its been over a year and this
problem hasnot occured again. I hope this helps you too or your friend.
chandan tangbe.
