hmm, I think the easiest thing to do is to go on Facebook Video Chat Rounds and just take a pic there -- http://www.rounds.com/facebook-video-chat/ You don't have to do anything with your webcam -- the Chat Rounds will detect it automatically and then just ask if you want to "allow access" and then just click "allow." :)

You may not have a card reader built into your computer, and you may need to buy one. Also, most digital cameras come with a USB transfer cable that will allow you to just plug the entire camera into your USB port and transfer the pictures without even removing the memory card.

Why does my Compaq Laptop keep freezing?

Why does my Compaq Laptop keep freezing?
I have a Compaq Presario laptop that I just bought in August. It worked fine for awhile, but then it started freezing. It freezes at random times when i'm trying to do things like watch videos on youtube or search things on the internet. I already took it to the geek squad at Best Buy, but they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. If that wasn't bad enough, it now overheats all of the time. Does anyone know what's wrong with my laptop?

you have answered your own question. if a laptop is freezing up with nothing wrong on the software side then it is mechanical. since you said it is overheating that leads to a bad fan or heat sink inside the computer. either the video card is overheating or the processor itself is overheating. i would recommend calling the customer support if you bought it in august and letting them know that it is over heating and freezing up and a computer tech was not able to find any problems with the software. normally this soon they will either fix it or replace it.

Compaq is a really cheap version of HP's computers. My Compaq used to do the same things, primarily because I don't think Compaq's can handle Windows 7. Check your system information and see what performance you have. Presario's have a lot of issues because they are the cheapest from HP. I don't know what possessed you to buy a Presario, but I hope this helped...

The first guy is right but still i have to say I'm an owner of a Compaq mini 110c and im not impressed with HP's work on this machine I've had it less than a year and I've had to send it in about 6 times and its all ben hardware problems i recommend going for Dell or any other company for that matter

you are overheating the graphics card. Get a lapad or a simple fan unit to sit it on and it will stop doing that.
