bee_yorkSince we've been living in this sardine tin of an apartment, we haven't hooked up my computer. We just use Mike's laptop. If you thought I got confused a lot with my own computer, you can imagine how much his laptop stumps me.
Here's my latest problem!
I don't know how to access the photos taken with my webcam. I didn't even know the laptop HAD a webcam until MSN told me it did, so I thought coool, I've never used a webcam before. I took some pictures and I can access them on MSN but I can't access them otherwise! How do I do this?
I just spent 45 minutes looking through every little part of this computer but I can't find any way of accessing either a webcam or photos that are stored on MSN. Neither!
I even tried searching for the words "webcam" and "cam" in Windows Explorer but I've found nothing.
Obviously if I can see them (and use them) on MSN, they have to be stored *somewhere*!
Does anyone reading this have any idea how it might be possible to access these photos? I've been looking through this computer for the better part of an hour now and I'm getting mentally drained. If someone could help me out here it would be soooo awesome (and appreciated)!

"add the date for modified to look for is recently"...??? I guess you mean to add the date to the picture? How do I do that?

Date: 2010-06-07 03:29 pm (UTC)ok when you search for something a folder, there are advanced options, like search for a type of file
you look for JPEGs and then sort by the modified date, if it's recent, you can see it that way
LOLOL
if you search for JPEGs on Mike's system, you "might" find "something" that Mike wanted to keep your eyes away from...like his fetish for all things TWILIGHT - hahaha!!
