First install the driver and the software that is included on the CD that came with it.  That software should be straight forward with getting your webcam to take pics and/or videos.

If the software your using does not support this make sure the window the webcam shows up in is selected and hit the alt key beside the space bar and the print scrn button which should be over by the number pad. you can then open a photo editing or paint program and paste the image into there (you may need to crop it a bit).\n\nMake sure you have the users permission to capture images of them.

Go to "my computer" and right-click and go to properties.  Then click the "hardware" tab.  Then click on "device manager."  Make sure your webcam is plugged in.  See if there is a webcam listed in the "device manager."  If not, you may need to install a driver that came with it on a CD, or download a driver from the manufacturer.\n\nIf the webcam does show up in the device manager, delete it, and shut down your computer.  Then unplug the webcam.  Boot up your computer until it has finished loading completely.  Then plug the webcam back in, and try using it or installing it again.

The web cameras come with a programing cd.  Once you download the program from the cd, and plug the cam in, (usually in that order) The icon for that brand of web cam should appear on your main screen.  If you are in an ISP, the web cam button from aol, yahoo or where ever, when activated should route to the cam and turn it on.  Good luck

It all depends on the camera and connectivity. Many do not. I would just advise you to spend $20 bucks and go out and buy a webcam if you want one.

Open "MY Computer" and look for your camera in the list.  Right clk on your camera and choose "Open" or "Get Pictures"\nYou can take it from there.

your camera should have come with a cable to attach to your computer....serial or usb most likely. plug the cable into your camera and the computer. turn your camera on to where you can preview the photos. your computer should recognize the camera and open a folder with your photos inside

Do you mean viewing your web camera live? or a digital camera (photos)...?\n\nFor your web camera, this is possible...\nYou will need the latest version of the Flash player (Macromedia, could be already installed, most of them are), an right-click on the Flash applet, and go to 'Settings...', and hit the icon of a web camera at the bottom of the small dialog box, and click the box to the right, that should automatically read your camera (if it's not in use by another program), there probably is another website using Flash that could read your web camera in a larger view (but I don't know of such a website)...\n\nAs for a digital camera? From my knowledge, it is possible either using 3rd Party (installed program) or using the Shell32 commands (Scripting on websites), more info can be found about this scripting by search this: "Scripting.FileSystemObject", Scripting.FileSystemObject is an ActiveX Object which is an installed program that can be read by websites to find out which programs are installed in your PC, Scripting.FileSystemObject links to your PC directly and can be easily scripted (properly, and with the knowledge), but yet again, I don't know of a website, I could build one myself, bbut i'm a busy guy :)\n\nOr maybe I'm going into much details...\n\nMaybe you mean street cameras? There are lots of websites that host live cameras of the streets and roads, or towns and mountains, maybe if you're lucky, you could find a link from satellites of the moon or earth (I have done so)...\n\nI think I have said enough already. :)\n\nGood luck, and have fun...\n-Josh

Well, without knowing the details of your specific situation (Mac or PC, computer specs, camera, operating system version, etc.) or how its connected to the computer (USB, FireWire, etc.), I can offer some suggestions. If you can determine the manufacturer of the camera, you can visit their website and download the user manual and latest software for your computer. Install the software according to the instructions therein, and don't physically connect the camera to the computer until either the software installer tells you to, or after its completed its install. This lets the camera's driver (the software that tells the computer how to control the camera) be completely installed and ready to recognize the camera. Good luck.

First make sure it's installed.  If your webcam has an LED light, it should be on if its installed properly (I am assuming that the webcam is pretty new).\n\nIf you need to use it for just taking pictures (which isn't the intended use by any means) then use the software that came with it.\n\nHowever, if you want to chat with your webcam, then I suggest you use Yahoo Messenger, AIM or MSN Messenger.  ALl three have the option to start video conferencing.  If your cam is installed right, the application should start using it without any issues.

I'm not sure you CAN take a snapshot in Messenger.........however, let's not forget that webcams aren't ONLY for use with Messenger!\nWhen you acquired your webcam, did you not get software and drivers with it? If so, then there should be a simple way of taking a snapshot, i.e. clicking the mouse.....\n\nAlso, if you have software such as Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paint Shop, you can 'Import' (in the 'File' menu) from any attached device, such as a webcam or scanner.

You need to go to the manufacturers web page, most have software available for download. If not, do a google search with the name of the model of your camera & "drivers". You can usually find a webpage that has the drivers.
