Hello!
I have just bought the VC set, and was attempting to follow the instructions
provided by Ted back in January to install VC on my WinXP Professional
system. I got stuck at step 3. When I run the QuickCam Setup program from
the VC CD, I get the LegoCam Setup Wizard. This does not give me the option
to install the camera but not the driver; it does not give me any place to
say that yes, I want to install RealPlayer7. I have not ever gone all the
way through this LegoCam Setup Wizard because I don't want to get into the
area of it overwriting my XP driver, as Ted warns in this step.
So, what should I do? I will appreciate any tips, thanks very much!

| I am replying to my own message here -- I followed some links on the Lego 'club' forum pages and found an excellent, step-by-step instruction set. It is fundamentally the same as Ted's, but with some changes (a bit easier). Thanks to the writer of (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.vc)

| I think I found the key to my previous success at getting VCS to run on W2K/XP. This is the good news - The bad news is you need to get a copy of RIS 2.0 and run the VCS update utility on the RIS CD. I don't know if this update is available from (...)
