How do i take a picture with my webcam?

Question

I forgot how to take still pictures with my creative web cam so if someone can help i would appreciate it alot!

Answer 1

Requirements: Windows XP or better and Windows XP recognizes your camera

* Plug in your camera and make sure windows xp recognizes it

* Go to my computer, locate your camera and double click it

* Once inside look at the left hand menu under "camera tasks" tab

* Click "Take new picture"

Alternatively, your camera should have at least one button. I am not sure which one it would be so better inspect the webcam and see if there is any button that has a camera icon on it. Aim and press the button.

Now hook up your webcam to computer if it is not already hooked up and goto my computer > usb video device (or whatever your webcam is recognized as). This time you should be able to see pictures in the lower pane.

You can also right-click the camera icon > Get pictures.
