Alun,

The manufacturer seems to be a German company called Mustek. Download the XP driver from http://www.mustek-driver.de/eng_/html/treiber/kameras/wcam300.htm

Run the .exe and reboot. The "Found New Hardware wizard" should then do it's thing.

I've tested this and it works on XP Pro. You get a capture program to check it's working ok too...

Good Luck,
Chris.

Thanks for the mustek site information Chris, it is just what I was looking for. However I am a little worried about the message I get when I try to install it on my Windows XP system. It recommends aborting the install, due to possible compatibility conflicts as its not fully windows tested. Need I worry? or just carry on and complete the install?

Seems as if the link is broken, does anyone know anywhere else I can get the drivers from, or would some one email them to me
