Hello,
I'm not sure, but my guess is that there is a similar approach.
Someone has posted a current solution for XP, but you need to have a copy of the
installed VC directory off of a win98/winMe installation first. Unfortunately,
it involves the backup and manipulation of 200MB of data -- something a little
cumbersome if you only have 1 computer and it already has XP or 2000 on it.
In the next couple days I'll set up an XP system and begin looking into a more
universal solution.

Rob,
Thanks for taking the time to create and post these directions. I am
considering installing VC on XP. Do you know if the apcompat.exe file (or
something similar) is used to achieve compatibility for the XP OS? Thanks.

| I haven't gotten around to it yet, but will most likely experiment with VC and XP Pro this weekend (although I did play with just plugging in the camera and letting XP detect it, then using the Movie Maker and Digital Camera software that comes with (...)
