When trying to use the webcam the system announces lack of bandwith : insufficient bandwith for teh camera given that the system has reserved some, qnd teh ADSL connection also has an allocation. How can I reduce teh bandwith allocated on the othersto free up bandwith for teh camera ?

If you are running xp you can turn off services.Ie xp has a bandwith monitoring tool that reports to msn (qos) that should free up some band width
also turn off all auto-update functions such as windows update or antiviral these will allocate part of yoiur bandwidth. if you have any multi media player such as winamp/quintesential or chat messangers other than the one you are using with the webcam shut them down as they will also rob space from you
