If you really don't want to get busted then the most important thing is to not use Internet Explorer! IE totally blows chunks.

Also, don't use Windows media player or anything else with a media libary, use something like Media Player Classic, which also happens to be a fuck lot more advanced.

Hi there.

To clarify the DOS thing.

DOS was an operating system, all versions of win up to and including win98 worked under dos, so the CPU loaded DOS and then loaded win.

Now with XP and NTFS systems, windows is it's own complete operating system and it does have a command interpreter that runs DOS commands but it works under WIN, so it is only partially DOS, and it will do MOST of what DOS did, but not all.

Hi there.

If you don't know, i'm a cpu tech.

To make your cam work you need new win7 drivers and software, to get them you go to the cam's manufacturer's site and d/l the needed software, if it is a Creative cam you go to www.creative.com and click support or driver downloads, and using your cams model # you get the proper software and install it, if it is avaliable, otherwise you WILL have to get generic cam software and most of them aren't very good.
