As far as I know - didnt have Mic connected as was going to use telephone for better quality, the only thing I was wondering if the screen resolution would make a difference - webcam is 800x600 I think but screen set at 1024xsomething or other....(cant be bothered to check on desktop - different pc to one I am on atm!)

Make sure you have the latest messenger:

http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

then get latest drivers for webcam.

Install latest webcam drivers and it will kind of automatically setup the webcam for use with any IM clients it finds.
