The web cam still isn't found. If it's of any importance, there are no 'video' folder or files in /dev. I have also tried twice doing new installations on a spare hard drive and trying to install the web cam again, with, and without the kernel version. No success. That is why I haven't sent this reply earlier. I'm completely at a loss what to do next, as I *don't* want to fire XP up every time I want to use the web cam. Cheers Keith
