Panic over. In desperation I uninstalled the yahoo and re-installed and now
it works fine so it must have been a hiccup of some sort. The picture
quality is good although not as good as the Linksys. My only complaint now
is the refresh rate which is agonisingly slow at 0.7 frames per sec maximum.
Anyone know how to improve this?
