I bought an E5500 for my mum and it took a few months to get it going (admittedly she is interstate, so I only had a few hours a month to try!) The solution was weird, and some "new" windows version of skype seemed to be immune, but I was already burned! The same quickcam on my gentoo box didn't have any problems. Apparently it was specific to certain quickcams, but this was a while ago, so details in my brain are sketchy! Can you get 720p on linux with the C600? -- Iain Buchanan I love dogs, but I hate Chihuahuas. A Chihuahua isn't a dog. It's a rat with a thyroid problem.
