Hi again Rick. Apart from upgrading to the latest version of YM for PC, any other tricks? I'm still having problems receiving video from PC users on my Mac with YM 3B. 2.5.3 works fine, though is flakey. 3B I can request/receive invitations for video chat but only hear the alert sound. No visual prompt in a window. So it's impossible to view PC user's cam.
Version 3 is so much nicer. --- In [email protected], "Rick Rudge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello bguild4, > > I have been able to use video on both iChat (AIM) and Y!M with Windows guys, > so it is > possible.
