Hello, XP provides already all necessary drivers (onboard). Remove the whole Philips-stuff, plug-in the cam and reboot your laptop. XP should recognize the cam and activate automatically the onboard driver. Capture pictures with tools like Giotto or K3CCD. regards Heiko Andy Lawes wrote: Hello All, Have just purchased new laptop (Compaq EVo 1015v) with XP Pro, to use for imaging in the field with ToUcam Pro.

That's C-R-A-P crap! Okay? g I know Simon: Moan, moan, moan! Chris.B |

Andy Mine works OK with XP Home or Pro, I think you've ended up with two lots of drivers installed - the Philips and the MS. You need to get rid of one or the other. I used the Philips installation CD with no probs. ChrisH UK Astro Ads: http://www.UKAstroAds.co.uk |

Andy I have found out it's the Compaq N1015v Laptops USB ports although they meet the USB spec they don't deliver enough power for the ToUcam to work. So don't buy a Compaq N1015V if you want to use the ToUcam Pro Cheers Andy |
