Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - ok if not expecting everything perfect

If you're looking for a nice, affordable camera this is the one for you.

I'm using Windows XP on a T3410 eMachine. I have a $50 Logitech webcam that looks pretty good, but this camera out did that in clarity, color and speedier as it uses less puter resources, at least the program does over Logitech Image Studio.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Doesn't work with XP SP2
I was simply unable to install the driver, due to Error code 1603. I then download its most recent driver from Microsoft web site ... Still no luck.
