Peter,
I searched the Internet and found this instruction posted by someone who
installed the VX600 on an earlier version of Vista (note use of earlier 1.2
software):
"find driver disk or download the 1.2 software from microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/di...=Lifecam%201.0
expand to a folder
plug in webcam
find 2 entrys in device manager
go to driver update
install driver for device from subdirectory from folder
(just the driver you do not need the software) 32bit or 64bit directory
microsoft and skype (new beta) are fine with the webcam microsoft has a
close beta under wraps but you need to get either a new nx device or wait
till release date for the driver which will be made available."
I'll look around some more to see whether I can find something better. Post
back if you think the above instruction useful.
As far as showing printers and cameras in My Computer (now Computer in
Vista), I don't recall ever seing printers in My Computer in WinXP, but the
camera shows up there in both WinXP and in Vista after you connect it. It
displays as a drive of some sort, no? That's my recollection from the last
time I connected my camera.
