Skype is a free software program that allows you to make phone calls through the computer. It also lets you text chat and place video calls. Since Skype is designed for use with web cams, it has the capacity to take snapshots both of you and of the person to whom you are talking in a video call. Plug your web cam into your computer and make sure it is on, open Skype, click on the "Skype" menu, select "Change your picture," and then click "Take Video Snapshot." After that, you can decide whether you want to keep the picture or trash it. Use this option if you want a picture that people can see in Skype almost immediately and don't want to bother with downloading or uploading anything. b>

Install Skype and you will be able to take a picture of yourself. Not sure why it won't let you take pictures as you have it installed.
First, download SKYPE by double clicking on this
site: (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/windows/beta/
).
and install it.
Then let all your family and friends know you’re on Skype
and give them your ID. After they get on Skype and you know their ID's
add them to you Contacts in Skype. After you connect up with them you can
turn the camera on so they can see you.
Skype is a free download and free to converse by computer without
paying and you can talk to several people at a time.
It only costs if you call a telephone number from your
computer while on Skype. Once you get the hang of it, you will enjoy it.
