    So I just got my T61. Got one for the wife, too.

    The integrated camera works with Skype, but every single other program I try, even ones specifically made to work with MS Vista, refuse to recognize the camera feed.

    It can't just be this computer as it's happening on both.

    Anyone figured out how to make this work? Lenovo "support" took 45 minutes to tell me that Vista won't let you use the integrated camera as a camera. What? Ugh! That can't be true.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks! That fixed it. I guess I shouldn't have figured a computer with a built in camera would have come with the driver already installed. You live, you learn.
