need software advice (still photos)

[toph99]

Hey all. I need a free program that will take still photos from my webcam. I used to have intel create and share software but i lost the cd(or it's at home... i'm away at school). I don't need it to do anything but take pictures. Does anyone have anything they recommend?

I think that it is built into Win XP.. do you use it?

Use the imaging program. Go to File ---> Acquire Image.

The webcam should be seen as a TWAIN device and any graphics program should work. Try running something like Irfanview and 'Select TWAIN device', then goto acquire, the picture from the webcam should show up.
