I cannot make this camera work with AOL IM , i currently have triton. my parents have the same camera and also use AOL and it will not connect. occasionally i will see it connect w/ a picture of me in the corner but i cannot recieve info.
this is driving me nuts and the camera is virtually useless to me. we do not use MSN or Yahoo and as far as i can tell it should work w/ AOL.
Thank you for any help!

Re:
I am asuming you have set the cam up in AOL settings, if so try making a short video with sound in windows movie maker 2, as this will help set up the cam for you.
If it records ok you will know that it's a AOL software problem.
