Does Windows 7 not have a webcam viewer like XP does? In XP, my webcam would show up in My Computer and all I had to do was click on it to get the webcam view on.

I can't find this in Windows 7. When I go to Control Panel then Devices and Pritners the webcam is listed there, but clicking on it doesn't activate it.
 
That's an explorer shell extension that gets installed when you install the camera drivers. I do not believe that it's an inbuilt feature of XP.
 
Bummer. I'd like something like it for Win7. I got the QuickCam Vision Pro. instead of the 9000 since the autofocus and other features are built into the hardware on the Vision Pro. vs. through the QuickCam software with the 9000. The Vision Pro. is recognized as a UVC device in Win7.
