Was just wondering if you can use your normal Digi Camera as a web cam ??????? Well the kids were wondering as most of their mates have them now .........

I used to be able to with a few cheapies I had but I now have a Kodak Z740 and MSN doesnt seem to reconise it ................ Is it a case that I cant use it or am I just plain too stupid to figure it out ???????

Unless it has software that lets you use it as a webcam it won't recgnise it. So you're not that stupid :P

I dont like your chances, only some digital cameras have the option for that i believe, although if you have an eye toy (For PS2) you can use that as a webcam for your computer with the right drivers
