How to capture picture using toshiba nb 255 web camera. When I first got my laptop 3 months ago when i clicked on web camera the box would open and i would see me in the image box since the web camera is above the screen on the laptop and i am in front of it. so then if i wanted to take a picture of myself i would just click i believe it said capture or take photo but that was it i would click capture and a pic of me was now stored on my laptop. then i decided to put a picture i had on my laptop of flowers in the web camera image so when i clicked on web camera the box would open and instead of seeing an image of whatever was in front of the web cam on my laptop i would see the picture of flowers i selected but now i want to take a picture of myself using the web camera but i do not know how to remove the picture of flowers i put on it and i cannot see myself and take a pic. so how do i remove the flower picture to see myself and take pic

There are several ways you can use the camera on your toshiba laptop.
1.) Use a program such as Skype or Windows Messenger; these programs will only use your web camera when you video chat with someone else over the internet.
2.) Alternatively, most Toshiba laptops come with a built in program that you can use to activate the web camera, and you may even be able to record videos and take pictures. This program is usually found in a toolbar on the side of your screen. To use it, move your mouse cursor to the left side of your screen, and something should pop out. The camera can be activated from there.
3.) If this does not work, clicking on the start button (the circular windows logo found in the bottom left corner of the screen) and typing in camera should bring up a program called 'camera assistant.' Clicking on this should also start up the camera software.

1. Open a program called"Camera Assistant." This is a Toshiba-supported computr program designed specifically for people with cameras built into their laptops.You can find this by clicking on the "Start" menu and then navigatingto the "Programs" sub-menu. 2. Press the"Picture" button in the "Camera Assistant" program windowto take a picture using your built-in camera. This will take one stillphotograph for every time you click the button. The image you are taking willappear on the right side of the main program window. 3. Press the"Video" button in the "Camera Asst" program window tobegin recording video using your built-in camera. This will record video untilyou press the "Stop" button. The video you are recording will appearon the right side of the main program window. 4. If you can't open"Camera Assistant," reinstall your drivers. Though the camera on aToshiba laptop is designed to work right out of the box, if it doesn't you mayneed to reinstall the driver that makes it work. Look for the CD labeled"Drivers and Software" that came packaged into the box with yourToshiba laptop. Pop it in your laptop's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive and install the"Digital Camera" driver contained on the disc.
