How to I use a digitial camera as a webcam?

Question

I have a canon powershot sd100 digital elph. I went to the cannon site, and downloaded the remote capture specifically for my camera. I connected my camera to my computer with the USB cable. When I press connect on the remote capture, it says

Camera error: Check the lens cover and the cable connections, then reconnect

I try turning the camera on, or switching to video, and it still won't work.

PLEASE HELP! tell me what the problem is, how to fix it, or give a new site to download some type of remote capture, or something PLEASE

thanx

Try Extra Webcam 1.1.0.62, it is software that allows you to use your Canon camera as a webcam.

If that doesn't work, might I suggest that you go out and buy a webcam? They aren't very expensive, and the time and energy you will save trying to make this hack work might be worth the $$.
