Hello all.

Is it possible to go from Windows XP to Windows 2000? Or anything below XP for that matter?

I am bored with XP and want to return to 2000. Also, my webcam only works on anything below XP! Typical!

I have heard that if you change XP to anything lower, it will mess up your PC? True?

Thanks!

Um.. No, I'm not too sure! :D
But have given up with it now because it's quite old, about 3 or 4 years.

Although, everytime I try to install it, there's always something missing. It's called HYPER.exe and have no idea what it is or where to find it. It wasn't on the webcam site nor on my computer/laptop..

Are you sure it's the right driver? I got the wrong driver for my scanner... THREE times.

There was supposed to be a driver with the cam, but I don't remember having it. So I got it off of the net.

Are you using the drivers that came with the camera, or did windows have a suitable driver already installed?

Without too much hassle?... hm.. How much hassle are you talking about?!

I don't think it's possible to downgrade Windows, you can either multiboot or reinstall :O[]
