PhD no star message

I had a go with PHD last night using a toucam. No pics, just trying to get familiar with the software. I centred on a star and told it to start guiding, which it seemed to do reasonably well, considering that the PA was pretty rough. However, every few seconds the info bar at the bottom would flash red, the guide box would go orange and a "no star" message appeared at the bottom. I take this to mean that PHD had lost the star, but in fact the star was in the guide box, near the cross hairs and guiding seemed to go on regardless. So what does the message mean and can I ignore it?
