My boyfriend bought me a digital camera for my birthday (polaroid t831) and said that it has webcam capabilities, he even made sure it worked on his computer before he gave it to me. the problem is i have no idea how to get it to work as a webcam and he doesn't remember what he did. the camera did come with a disk, but it's only for photo viewing. there is nothing in the manual about using it as a webcam, yet it has a "pc camera" option on the screen when it is plugged into the usb port. one time i got it to work on "my computer" but i can't get it to work with any IM service, it only shows a black screen. please help.

Try this option, if it does not work, let me know and I will suggest something else!
Plug the camera in along with the usb into the computer and if nothing pops up, go to start, run and browse for your camera. It should show up there.
