After video chat begins iChat completely "unexpectedly quits"

Since it used to work, it might be worthwhile doing some routine maintenance before thinking about anything more radical:

Let us know if that fixes it.

For Mac-PC videochats, in my experience, Skype is less hassle to set up. Both sides need to download the appropriate version:

Hi

AIM 6 will crash iChat, make sure she is using 5.9 or use Skype.

Hi Squacker,

This free shareware applet assigns processing power in an economical way.
It might give that extra push.

I have the same problem trying to chat with another iChat user. Whenever we try to initiate a chat (it doesn't matter who starts it) and it finally connects, iChat just quits without saying anything on my end.

Any suggestions on what's going on would be appreciated. I've chatted with this same person since iChat was first introduced without problems until now...

Hi All,

I had someone who said he could do this to other people and proceeded to demonstrate crashing my iChat.

he insisted it was the app.

A few days later he came back and said it was his router that he found developed more serious faults following this.

It might pay to keep this in mind.
