How can I make MSN Messenger recognize the built-in iSight? Anyone?
Thanks. |

Um.
A) You're talking about Windows, with Boot Camp or XOM/OnMac, neither of which supports the iSight. B) You're talking about Mac OS X. Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (née MSN Messenger) does not support video chat, nor audio chat. |

No, not boot camp. I'm talking about MSN Messenger on MacOS X. Unlike the Windows version, the mac version doesn't even have an option to start a video chat.

You'll need to either switch to iChat or go to Yahoo Messenger which doesn't support audio.
Word has it that Skype is coming out with video later this year (chucker, any word on that?) but that it will only work on intel macs. I'm not sure why that is. Something about a specific intel instruction set or something. |

You can get aMSN, which is a clone of MSN Messenger. It's on the OSX downloads page on the apple site. It supports webcam, and is much more like Msger than the Microsoft version.

I find aMSN far too slow in general use to be useable.
