Dell vostro - Enable built in webcam?

Hi there, can you please tell me procedurally how to enable and use the built in webcam on the Vostro with XP for taking photos.

 

I cannot seem to enable/start the camera.

What model?  Did you opt for the webcam (they aren't standard)?

As it is for a friends laptop, I cannot remember the model number but I know it is a Vostro... possible 1400/1500.  It does however have the built in webcam and I can't seem to find out how to activate it in order to take photos.

 

Is there software which needs to be installed?

Should be a camera icon in the notification area(lower right).It's all spelled out in the manual.
