The camera is pretty neat (or at least I hope so - I'll figure out how bad the picture quality is once I get the settings optimized.

But the software that came with it is ridiculously slow. I was using Kabcam with the other webcam for the webpage uploads, and it's great - occasionally doesnt upload a picture but the set up is simple and even when it messes up the upload, it doesn't take my machine down with it.

Does anyone know if I can still use Kabcam with this one? And if not, any other suggestions for something equally simple (minus 'cutesy'). All I want to do is upload one picture to the website, with the same name each time - no logging and chewing up webspace.

And even if you don't know of a way to do that with this cam, what are your webcam and webcam software recommendations?

Intel's PC camera works with Kabcam, I don't see why yours won't. You want a clunky interface and stupid software? Try Intel's. I can even send you a copy. Every camera they sell they add an extra set of the software in a mailer for you to send to a friend.

Well, on the second day it DID work with Kabcam so I'm putting the whole thing to computer gremlins.

The picture quality isn't as good as the other one (or I haven't found the right settings yet) but I'm continuing to give it a go.

Someday I'm gonna have time to play with all my gadgets, I swear...

And no. I have a lifetime supply of bloated Cutseyware now, thanks! ;)
