same pro here, get usb err msge, i think i'm going to get another cheap cam, i paid good money for phillips cam, i think it was about £45.00. thought i'd better get a good make. but now i'll go get a cheap one and def not phillips, nor will i buy any other phillips stuff from now on. i don't think it's worth me going back to xp, after all, it's the software that's not compat with vista. so am a little bit happy to stick with vista.
congrats to phillips. maybe they part owned by v/m.
