Gateway Parts

I have the new 2009 Gateway M Series Laptop with the built in Webcam. YES - I'm a computer retard.?

How in the heck do I use my webcam to record video. I want to do live video updates for a blog while I travel and I can't figure out how to get it to work! No webcam button and the laptop did NOT come with directions. :( Any help?

3. Here are the instructions from gateway http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2007/Tempest/1014348R/1014348Rfaq10.shtml
4. every computer comes with a manual be it on a cd that came with the computer or in a printed book, that will tell you how to get help, so check the cd's that came with the system,,, you should have at least one cd if not more.
5. When you go to start and then programs. Look for a program that has something to do with web cams. If it is not installed then use the installation disc that should have came with your computer. Or go to the web site and download the driver and the manual or directions for your machine
