What advice/help did you get that you didn't understand? Maybe try taking that advice to someone else and asking for help to understand?
I can't answer that. All I know is that she tried to follow them and got lost each time. (I can assure you that she is at least of average intelligence) The biggest stumbling block seems to be the old "where's the button" game.

Thanks for this I think! LOL By the way all I finally did figure out how to take pics with my webcam, complicated but I am very proud of myself for figuring it out!!

My GF is trying to figure out how to take pictures with her computer's webcam. Her system is Vista (which she hates). I use a Mac, so I can't help her. I Googled up a bunch of answers, none of which resembled each other and each of which raised more questions than they answered.

Here's my gripe. It's about peoples' communications skills. IMO, nobody should be allowed to graduate from a 2-year college without being able to describe a somewhat complex process that any person of average intelligence can easily follow, step-by-step, successfully, without error, every time.

It is bad enough that computers seem designed to make us feel stupid. It makes it worse that even very smart people seem unable to give helpful advice that the rest of us morons will find useful.

I have a lot more to say about this, But I'll leave it at that.


Well I have Vista and since I got it; nothing seems to work right. I just snapped my pictures using the tool bar for the webcam which is one of the few things that worked on Vista. I now have downloaded XP and my computer works like a charm. Vista truly sucks. grumble
