    Hi,

    I was wondering how I can use my webcam to take pics.

    Easiest way I've found is to download Google Picasa and there is an option to start the webcam on the main screen. Lenovo from what I can tell doesn't provide an interface like Mac does.

    I'd also like to know a bit about this too - is there a way to make the webcam an icon in the "My Computer" screen in Vista? I know XP adds it to the "My Computer" screen, at least on the computers I've used.
