I downloaded XP driver from their website and patch also. Now XP doesnot complain about new hardware but I dont see ANYTHing on my camera. I dont know whats the problem. It run very well on my old PC but does not work on new one that has XP. SO as I changed my PC , i will have to go buy some other new webcam now.

The quality of this webcam isn't horrible, but it's not the greatest. For the low price it's not that bad. I've had mine for a few years and have greatly enjoyed it. I've had no XP trouble what-so-ever, aside from the quality it works perfectly.

This thing is a huge pain in the (...) to set up for XP. The drivers available online don't contain all the necessary files, and I've been trying for about an hour just to get XP to see that I have a camera connected. In this day and age, no hardware should be this difficult to set up, especially on a new computer running the latest OS. Luckily for me I got this camera free after rebate. And I think I overpaid. :S

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.

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!!
