Installation Notes for the Philips Vesta Pro Webcam

(PCVC680K) under Windows 2000:



0) Do not plug in the USB camera before the installation

procedure asks for it.



1) Delete or rename the oem8.inf file in the \WINNT\inf

directory, this file tries and fails to install the USB-drivers

for the Vesta Pro webcam (it will ask for the vfwwdm.drv file

that is not available anywhere on the system and that the webcam

actually does not need under Windows 2000.



2) Use the Philips PC Camera Installation Disk PCVC675K/PCVC680K

(Version 1.2 has been tried here), and follow the normal installation

directions.



3) At some point during the installation you will be asked

to plug in the USB camera. After this Windows 2000 will install

the necessary drivers. If it complains about finding the drivers,

you should look for them in the \Program Files\Philips Vesta Camera

directory.



If an error occurs after this installation, then you should update

your drivers with the VestaWebUpdate14.exe file, which were available

from the Philips-site (support for PC-stuff):



4) unplug the USB Camera.



5) manualy de-install the USB webcam drivers (see also the

readme.txt of the updated_drivers (version 1.4)) with Add/Remove

Hardware: Uninstall/Unplug a device:Uninstall a device:

Show hidden devices: (de-install USB Composite Device, USB Audio Device,

and the Philips VGA Digital Camera; Video).



5) Install the updated drivers (version 1.4): VestaWebUpdate14.exe.



6) Plug in the USB camera when it asked for. NB Again if it can not

find the necessary files look under \Program Files\Philips Vesta Camera.



An alternative is to do the following instead of 4) - 6):



4') Do NOT unplug the camera.



5') Install the updated drivers (version 1.4): VestaWebUpdate14.exe.

This will overwrite the *.inf files etc. in the \Program Files\Philips

Vesta Camera directory. Stop the procedure if it asks to plug in the

camera.



6') Do a manual update of the drivers with: System: Hardware: Device Manager:

USB Composite Device: Driver: Update Driver, and follow the instruction there.



NB You should select the updated cam*10.inf file!



Have fun!
