762305 2009-04-04 11:32:00 You cant just open a web cam - you need a program that has web cam capability - Eg: MSN, Skype.

Most web cams come with software that will allow you to open the Cam - it should have been loaded in when the original drivers / software was installed. ( even built in cams)

Some webcams appear in (My) Computer, and double-clicking starts it. The one on my netbook does that.

762308 2009-04-04 23:37:00 Interesting. Why would you access it from My Computer through? Blam (54)
762309 2009-04-04 23:39:00 Windows lets you take still images with it, then you can copy it to the Pictures folder. That's about it. :p pcuser42 (130)
