PC cam for still capture?

Hi does anyone know any free software that will take stills from my PC-Cam.

I have some on the disk that came with the cam (philips) but I had win98 then and it wont work with XP.

Many thanks Tony

    Thanks, it works fine as a cam. I just need to be able to take stills which the old software allows, just trying to hunt down some freeware to do that.

    Thanks Tony
