Kensington VideoCAM - anyone have it working in Win2K?

[Down8 0]

I just bought it, and since it said "Win95 or better", I thought it might work in Win2K, but their website says "Due to an unforseen hardware problem, we will no longer offer support for Windows 2000", and has no drivers for it.

 

I'm downloading the Win98 1.20 drivers right now [avoiding opening the CD, incase I need to return it], which I will be trying shortly [damn 56k!].

 

Does anyone out in Webland have this thing working in Win2K though?

There is a beta release of win2k drivers for your camera. In any case, what it suppose to do is to modify the firmware of your camera while running on Windows 98 and then you can use it in win2k. You can get the drivers and the firmware update in :

You should get a computer running windows 98 in any case to perform the firmware update first. According to documentation, there is no way to come back to win 98 after doing the update.

That's interesting....

 

I ended up taking the camera back [i don't have awin98 machine right now anyway], but this sounds pretty cool. thanks for the info.
