text: how to connect a web cam?   well,   connect a webcam to your pc is easy as 1, 2, 3.  if you are using window xp and if your webcam has a usb connection (it should) you just simple plug it in the usb gate, wait a few seconds for your computer recognizes a "new guests". a pop up window appears with instruction, follow the instruction and you are done. normally a webcam comes together with a so-called driver. it is kinda cd goes together with it. you need this cd to install your webcam.  if you you window 98 or earlier, you do the same thing but you have to go to control pannel > add new hardware > and on the list look for the cd in cd-rom.  goodluck
