Cannot find Winows 2000 drives for Web Cam...any help?

[Mentat]

So I recently fell into possession of a web cam (model: microsoft lifecam VX-3000 USB web cam). The drivers given are for Win XP, but I have Win 2000. After searching google, I had no luck finding any drivers.

Any help?

I really don't want to support microsoft any more than I have to...I don't want to buy XP, but if there is a cheap deal out there I might consider it.

I did a google search as well: Link

For a Microsoft® Windows®-based computer:
Operating System
Windows Vista? or Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)

There are no 2K drivers.

Yeah, those webcams only recently came out.

Consequently, no Win 2000 drivers exist.

dang, I would have though if they are new then people would for sure have cracked them or patched them. sigh...any good deals where I can find XP then. Now that vista already came out I cant find any cheap deals for XP

Try the driver listed here:

I just tried their download link, it goes back to Microsoft Lifecam V1.3
Maybe it does work on Win2000 and it is just not specified .. give it a try

OP, please let us know if the driver posted by bruceb worked for you or not...

And let us know if the XP driver works too.
