I thought you could use ur Tv tuner card lto make ur desktop run as a tv background, so if you figure out how to do that then theres no reason you shouldn't be able to make it run ur webcam also. I found out that I could broadcast tv over my yahoo webcam by switching the webcam input t the leadtek tuner, so Im sure what ur doing can be done, unfortuantely idk how. lol.

well the same idea hit me with that, and when i installed winfast it wouldnt pic up the webcam as a video input devices, and all i had before was TV behind everything.

I also got to thinking about power toys and the image timlapser, and it hit me that may be able to write a script in a HTM page that lets me see the pic(as it is refreshed) as my background, but i dont know how to right sripts so im shampoo on that on.

so as for now im still experimenting and google has yet to help.

more or less i just want a larger image to view the cam with, but making it the background would be quit nice as well.
