Study Buddy

Re:Study Buddy

I haven't used Vista yet - don't think I will til it's been out a while longer so they have time to recognise fatal flaws and fix the bugs they will no doubt find loads of - plus I hear a few things aren't compatible.

Get onto ebay and buy a cam for a quid, better still - put the name of the web cam maker into Google and put Vista compatible Driver and see what comes up.

You might want to uninstall all the other useless drivers you put on too - depending on how many you installed you may have loads trying to start on boot-up which would slow down boot time :-)

Yeah normally it's really easy. Plug it in, click install, next next next and it works :?

So how does someone watch it? Do you send a link?

Very good Helen, pretending you have never broadcasted :-)

But the guys from adult.com did it - I just had to sit there...

Re:Study Buddy


But if I had one, how would someone be able to watch?

Re:Study Buddy

You would get an unsuspecting man call at your door to "Service your Boiler" he'll say he needs to install a "Electrical Device" in the corner of the room and trail a wire back to the PC - he'll then say he needs to "configure" the electrical device to broadcast to a certain URL in order to maintain a healthy central heating system of course :-)

Anyone who decides to go to the URL will be pleasantly suprised when they see you unawares, ironing your bits and pieces :-)

I do have a boiler, if that helps?



Double post...No it's not - I can't read.

Re:Study Buddy


Maybe I won't do it. Sounds like I need to know things which I know nothing about.

Not really, you go to ebay, search for "Webcam" make sure you don't buy it from Japan cos they're really bad. Pay up to a tenner including posatage, await delivery.

Install software (important you install software before plugging in device (well, for 99.9% of web cam installations this is the case)) when prompted plug in the Camera via USB to the PC, configure it.

Go to google, type "MSN Live Messenger" click Download - install. Open new program, click "Contacts > Add Contacts" > choose "Add Contact from Email Address" input "jamieleeuk@hotmail.com" click OK, when I come online I'll see "Red-Hot-Baggy-Books has added you to her friends" then i'll send you a message, it'll appear in it's own fancy little window.

There's an avatar too, if your camera is installed and configured to work with your PC then a small icon will appear in the corner of your avatar. All you have to do is click on it and then wait for me to compose myself and accept viewing your live feed :-)

Easy as that!

There's no lack of sun in my life - I wake up every morning, turn my head and see a ray of sunshine to brighten my whole day :-)
