Vivitar ViviCam 5100 XP driver...?
My sister bought a Vivcam 5100 recently & asked me to install the driver to allow her to use it as a webcam. I popped in the software that came with the cam & it supplied the driver for 98. That would be fine, except she runs XP. I have searched, but I cannot seem to find the driver that allows it to run on XP. Can anyone help me out & point me in the right direction?

Hi there,
The best I can tell, there is no indication that the Vivitar Vivicam5100 can be used as a webcam.
From a driver download site which features the Win98 driver (for downloading pictures via USB only):
"Vivitar Vivicam 5100 USB Mass Storage Device Driver Windows 98.
Note: Windows Me/2000/XP, Mac OS X, and Desktop LX users do not require any driver software for this camera."
This lets Windows98 get at the pictures stored on the camera, but doesn't let the Vivicam 5100 work as a webcam, even in windows 98.
My guess is that the driver is hard to find because it doesn't exist. :-(
While I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I hope you will join the site (free) and help by giving advice on topics that you know a lot about.
We could always use the help. ;-)
Good luck,
DN.
