Photo Booth/Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Somehow my Photo Booth Application icon turned into an icon that looks like 2 pads of paper, a #2 yellow pencil, a ruler, and a paint brush. I can not get Photo Booth to work like I have seen it work on You Tube (I am an ignorant computer person if I sound stupid), it just shows this new icon and when I click on it it just bounces up and down and does nothing. Does anybody know what that icon is about and why my Photo Booth doesn't work, the advisor I spoke with (I have the warranty) did not seem to know about this icon, nor how to fix my computer.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

It needs to be reinstalled.

Welcome to Discussions, Pennee

If you are only looking at the iCon in your Dock, check the one in your Applications folder, too.

If the iCon in Applications looks like Photo Booth should (

), double click it there to see if Photo Booth launches.

In fact, you should double click the " Photo Booth" iCon in your Applications folder regardless of how it looks.

We will watch for your status update.
