2.0 out of 5 stars Good cam but not for Windows 2000 or XP!, October 23, 2001

Very pleased with the cam when used with Windows ME. Good in poor light and good resolution. Had some trouble in getting it to work at first and had to download new software from Kensington which solved the problem. Technical support good until I enquired about it working with Windows 2000 and XP. There is a "hardware issue" and the development of drivers for Windows 2000 and more importantly XP has been dropped. This means that this cam is very limited in it's upgrade ability. Having seen Windows XP and been impressed how good it is anybody thinking about buying a cam should bear this in mind.

I spent fifty friggin dollars on a "like new" Kensington camera only to find out it won't work with my brand new PC. PO'd? You could say that. I call tech support (hah) only to be told they have no plans to update the software. Guess what? I have no plans to ever buy another Kensington product again. You shoulnd't either.

I bought this Cam (VGA one Not SVGA) 2 years ago, and it never worked properly.
I paid 60$ Canadian for it. When I first ran the installer it crashed my Win 98 PC and I mean full BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) and NM (no response to the mouse) crash, then after literally 8 attempts to install it finally completed the install. So I run the program and the I get an error (After Restart After the Install) it crashes, Reboot, Run again, Works for ten minutes like a dream, Then BSOD NM Crash, Reboot, Run but with vertical lines on the screen, BSOD NM Crash, Reboot, Drivers Corrupted, Reinstall, Works but doesn't save colour settings, then I give up.
And it doesn't work at all on any thing higher than Win98 First Edition (Meaning it doesn't work on XP, ME, 2000, Win98 SE, ETC...) By the way if you find third party drivers for xp for this cam please email me @ [e-mail]
cus its just a paper weight now.
