Need info on using a web cam
Perhaps this is the wrong newsgroup for getting information on the use of
a web cam - but, if it is, please point me in the right direction. I can't find a newsgroup for webcams. Thanks. |

What do you need to know? Just install the drivers, plug it in, start an
application that uses a webcam. No rocket science needed. "The Learner" wrote in message ... Perhaps this is the wrong newsgroup for getting information on the use of a web cam - but, if it is, please point me in the right direction. I can't find a newsgroup for webcams. Thanks. |

Need info on using a web cam
The Learner.
I installed a webcam on my desktop and on my son's laptop. I'm running Vista Home Premium and he's running Vista Basic. We went to Walmart, purchased 2 Logitec webcams at less than $40 each. It comes with an installation disk and both installs went flawlessly. The communication software is something called Logitec Vid. I use my `live ID' e-mail address and a password and my son uses his existing Hotmail e-mail address and password. Once you each add the other persons e-mail address to your contacts list and once that person takes a picture him/herself all you need to do is open the application, click on the picture and the other persons computer phone will start ringing. A simple click to accept the call and you're both hooked up. Works great, but I have noticed that there are times of the day when the connection is poor resulting in either some audio echo's or the picture momentarily goes black for 1/2 a second. Other than that we're pretty happy with Logitec.. Good luck..........Paul C. "TheDuck" wrote in message ... What do you need to know?
