If you mean take pictures from the camera then the software that came with it will have an option (there may also be, as on mine, a button to take a picture).\n\nIf you want to take a picture of what you are watching the simplest way is to use the 'print screen' function on your keyboard ans paste it into MS paint.\n\nI heard there were utils on the net to capture pic's but I have never had the need to test them.\n\nEnjoy

make sure u install the drivers with the disk it came with or look for the website for the brand of web cam u have and download them there. if that dont work, then contact the company for help.

I don't think the web camera uses the server.\n\nGo to Start, Programs, Acessories, Scanner and Camera Wizzard, and then select the one you want to use or select next and your picture should show if you only have one camera.

Right click my computer, properties, hardware, device manager button, see if you got anything branching out with red or yellow marking on a normal icon, if yes, click that branch to highlight it, then click remove button on menu, try to install the software, then plug in the camera cable.\nHope this helps

Make a note of the model number or name of the webcam\nGo to the labtec website and download the appropriate driver.\nWithout plugging in the webcam, install the driver.\nReboot\nPlug the webcam in (if you've plugged it in before this, plug it into a different port)\nAllow the computer to install the camera although you may have to point the computer at the driver file (so make a note of where its installed the driver file to)\nIf you move the camera from USB socket to USB socket, it will try and reinstall it.\n\nHope this helps\n\nDHW

pls try to reinstall  the driver, if it is brand new return it to the store to show you the correct setup steps or better look for the brand A4 tech webcam, it is the best brand for our dummies like us, and it is very user friendly any idiot can do it like me.

I had the same problem with mine.  If you have a firewall on your computer that's probably the problem.  I went to preferences:connection: and changed it from "firewall no proxies" to "no proxies" and it works fine now.  You might want to fiddle with those settings. I still dont know how to get super webcam mode to work.

If you know what kind of webcam it is, or even who the manufacturer is then you can go to their web site and download the drivers needed to get your webcam up and working properly.\n\nMANY webcams are made by Logitech\nhttp://www.logitech.com\n\nBut make sure of your brand before loading any drivers.

You can't hook up a normal Camcorder to a computer and use it as a web cam. The camcorder must either hook up via Fire Wire or USB in order to use it as a webcam. \n\nIf you want to use a older camcorder you must purchase either a video transfer board or a video card that allows video input.

You have to go into set defaults and set you webcam up in there to get it to work. You most likely will have to turn your computer off and let it boot back up before it will allow the changes.

You need a software that will alow you to capture video from your camera (probably something came in a CD with your camera), or you can find them at download.com or tucows.com. Any of them will allow you to take snapshots, and some even have a timer.

Assuming you have installed the webcam properly with its drivers.\n\n1. Logon to http://messenger.yahoo.com/\n\n2. Click on the Features link on the top row.\n\n3. Click on the Webcam link which is in the last coloum.\n\n4. Click on the "Visit the Yahoo! Help Center" link on the right hand side.\n\n5. This will bring you to the webcam help section. Under the Getting Started title click on the Test webcam link. The website usually downloads a piece of software from Yahoo to your computer.\n\nThis is what I followed when I was unable to use my webcam on yahoo. I was able to use the cam on all other messengers and not on yahoo. Once this software was downloaded, the webcam works just fine on yahoo now.\n\nPls update your question if any errors are reported.\n\nUjjU

Try updating your web cam drivers themselves and be sure all other applications are closed. You can also try another video conference software like iVisit for instance that is GREAT and FREE!

Open up your firewall configuration and put the webcam details on the "allow" list, but it should "pick it up" automatically and ask you whether you want to allow it.  \n\nHowever, I have a webcam and mine doesn't need firewall access so  you may not need to do anything.
