[MeMyselfAndI]

I took some photos and i dont know where they r saved on comp :conf:

[Omen]

Take another one, and when you save it make a note of the folder it goes to.

[Braden]

In the picture folder :)

[MeMyselfAndI]

i press the photo button on the webcam. I don't even see the photo i just press the button and nothing happens..

[MeMyselfAndI]

and its not in "My Pictures" ;/

[Niamh.]

i press the photo button on the webcam. I don't even see the photo i just press the button and nothing happens..

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Niamh.]

[MeMyselfAndI]

[Omen]

Look in your Documents.

[Jessica.]

What kind of webcam is it? You probably have a folder in your documents or desktop that they go to.

[Niamh.]

ohh
i got a manual but i dont understand it

I don't know, mine is a built in one and it's pretty straight forward, no manuals needed!

[MeMyselfAndI]

ahh so complicated :(

[Braden]

Try and find out what the image is called. If you search IMG in the my documents search bar it might come up.

[MeMyselfAndI]

the manual SAYS IT SHUD BE "usb uvc vga" or sumit
i searched it on my computer and its not there.. :(

[MeMyselfAndI]

Try another disk

You could also try cleaning it. Google how cos I don't know.

[Omen]

Or buy something like this:

[Enid]

Omen, stop giving her pointless advice.

After downloading driver mender, you probably have some sort of virus. That is one dodgy website. And in your webcam options/preferences it'll probably tell you there where your pictures are saved to.

I'm all out of advice.

[MeMyselfAndI]

i dont know whether i need to use my CD to install it or if my pictures r actually somewhere

[MeMyselfAndI]

:( anyone got any ideas where my pictures would be?
Or how to fix my CD/DVD drive so i can install my webcam properly

[Shasown]

I'm all out of advice.

Thank god for that

MM&I you realise that when you take photos on a webcam thats not installed properly, the photos could end up going out to all the people who have an email address recorded on your computer?


There are a couple of things you could do, find the box etc your computer came in wrap it back up and include everything that came with it then take it back to wherever you bought it and tell them you want your money back, if they ask why you are returning it, just tell them you are too stupid you own one, they will understand. Honest.

Try cleaning the lens of the dvd reader using a decent cd/dvd cleaner.

If you have updated the driver recently and the problem is since then rollback to tha last decent driver you had for it( rollback is a function of the sytem manager - go find it)

[MeMyselfAndI]

i need my dvd drive fixed

[Omen]

Thank god for that

[Omen]

Shasown more or less called you an imbecile.

[Shasown]

Shasown more or less called you an imbecile.

I have that opinion of lots of people. Because I am furking wonderful, when you are as good as me (very unlikely but there is a slight possibility) you can look down on people as I do.

[Omen]

How did you clean the drive, btw?

[Photon]

With a magnet.

[Patrick]

MM&I is obviously just trolling, why does anyone even bother trying to help it?

:rolleyes:

[_Seth]

Go into settings on the webam application and see if you can change where the pictures are saved to - but don't change it, just look at where it says they're saved t.

[Raph]

Often it's in Documents, and then in a folder called 'WebCam Media' or Something like that :thumbs:

[MeMyselfAndI]

yeh ive found them people :) thanks

[_Seth]

How did you find it?
