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 XP to grab movies and stills).
I've got a Win98 Box and WIn XP Box. Both are powerful machines, with plenty
of hard drive space to spare, so I expect the same Win2K processes will work
for me.
I'll let y'all know.

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.
