New isight and cant do anything with it!

Question

i have a new ibook 12 inch G4 and a new isight cam.
i cant use it on msn, it wont work on yahoo, amsn doesnt work, and on the chatroom that i want to use it on noone can see me.
i have clicked the video box in this room but still nothing.
i have a .mac acount but still nothing. the cam works in ichat but i dont know anyone else who uses ichat.
at the minute i have £100 of camera that does nothing other than show my reflection (that is a mirror isnt it?)
will any of this be resloved with a different camera or is a mac and webcam on the internet a no-no?

 Hello renek. Sorry, but I do not understand your response to me. SightSpeed is one of the chat apps listed in Some Applications You Can Use With iSight. Did you not see that when you read Using iSight linked above?
If I misunderstand and you are really trying to respond to richarddrake, please ignore this post.
However, if you want more discussion on SightSpeed, I can offer that my testing from my system to others that are working properly shows that SightSpeed's video quality is not nearly so good as Chat AV's. Moreover, once connected, you will note that SightSpeed's interface is definitely "un-Mac-like", although it is not difficult.
Many posts here report that SightSpeed makes easier connections than iChat AV for some users, albeit at lower quality than iChat AV. Chat AV's superior A/V quality may explain its more demanding connection requirements.
In my testing, SightSpeed Basic's quality does seem better than the quality of the free version of iVisit, but those having difficulty connecting via iChat AV could certainly consider both of these video chat alternatives.
Cheers,
Jim
