I have nothing agaisnt the webcam. Unfournatly finding a program that would work, was a little more diffcult, as Microsoft NetMeeting which comes with the webcam, didn't work. But I ended up using Yahoo and it worked fine. I am very pleased with the product..

Ok, so Windows XP might be a bit advanced for such an inexpensive camera, but I wanted a very basic webcam I could talk to my significant other with for a few months while we're apart. This camera didn't come with drivers for Windows XP. I went to the website and downloaded what they said were the XP drivers, but still couldn't get it to work. I had my partner try to get it to work on my computer, he couldn't get it to work, and he's a computer guy! I finally sent it back and my brother-in-law and partner told me to go for the Logitech. I gave this one star because it didn't work for me...it might work perfectly well on all other OS's, but not on XP.

This webcam is very good, especially for the price! The programs that come with it are very good and very cool as well. Its not the best quality ever. But its not horrible by far. And with yahoo its as good as most webcams are. I would recommend it for anyone who is intersted in working with yahoo or making short..and low quality movies.

Can't blame Amazon, but this webcam does NOT work with XP no matter what you try.
I've waisted hours trying to install it, downloading drivers that don't work from the company's website (and other sites as well), speaking with customer support (who promised TWICE to e-mail me the drivers, but never did), and after all that trouble, it still won't work.
I wouldn't even try any other Micro Innovations products, due to their terrible support and service.

The product is most likly good. But It when I try to install it to my computer, the class install manager denied my request to install it. This was very frustrating beacaues I have to return it. The Micro Innovations customer service was terrible, the people would lie over the phone just to get rid of you. The man said he would e-mail me the drivers I needed to install it to my computer with windows XP. But never sent them. Non of this is Amazons fault but I wish that they show weather its compatible with windows XP.

Windows XP compatibility issues aside, this is a decent webcam with decent video quality. You can adjust the sharpness by rotating the circular frame around the camera eye, and there are three colored covers that come with the webcam - green, red, and blue. Although this webcam was only designed for compatibility up to Windows 2000, I have gotten the webcam to work on Windows XP just fine with the latest Windows 2000 drivers from www.mic-innovations.com. Occasionally (once every few months), I'll have to reinstall the drivers when Windows XP suddenly recognizes the webcam as "new hardware", but that's not much of a hassle.

When you install the driver, it tells you that the driver doesn't have a signiture for XP. It's still a win 2000 driver, if you click OK, it installs and works without a problem. I agree that this is unacceptable... but it does not affect performance. It works fine.

I've had no problems with the functionality of this device.
Picture quality is OK for the price, it's all I need to see friends and family across the country. Be sure you have a lot of light... lower light produces images with a blue tint.

My wife bought this to communicate with family. If I had made the decision, I would probably have bought one that had in integrated microphone. Probably the logitec when it's on rebate... But I see no reason to replace the IC100C.
If you're looking for something cheap with no rebate hassle, this will do the job.. and for under $20.

This Camera DOES NOT WORK FOR WINDOW'S XP. If anyone knows how to get it to work please add a review. I have tried 3+ hours to get it to work with no luck. Micro Innovations needs to take down the "XP Driver" they claim to work from their website. Don't buy this cam if you have XP!!

I'm having lot of problems with this camera. Picture quality is poor. Software with this camera is not good for XP. There are drivers issues too.

ok now i have had problems in the past with companys but never like this when a company says that they have an XP driver it means that it should at least work on window xp unless theres another OS named xp but hey dont buy this not even if you life depends on it.
