    I have a couple of notebooks with webcams and I have no problems pulling those up to snap some quick pics. Windows XP had a handy devices list under My Computer that I could just pull up, this feature is missing from Vista. Anyone know something I can use to pull up my webcam?

    Hasn't the manufacturer got some software for your webcam?

    Went to the website and downloaded it. Works fine from messenger, but I needed to snap some quick picks to send out and that was always nice in XP.
