It's not on the list and it doesn't work. Nor with Warpvision nor with wcamshow.exe. Nevertheless usbres shows the camera with it's name and all it's specifications. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 03:57:15 +0930 From: Paul Smedley Subject: Re: USB Webcam operational.

Nor with Warpvision nor with >wcamshow.exe. Well there's probably a reason that there is a list of devices that should work :) The OS/2 webcam support is based on a linux driver for phillips chipset webcams.... >Nevertheless usbres shows the camera with it's name and all it's >specifications. usbres should show ANY device - whether there is OS/2 driver support or not....

Wcamshow only works with webcams that use the Philips chips that it supports. I hope you can return the CL Vista or use it elsewhere, as I said there's no gaurentee that even the webcams listed will work (all though I suspect they will) - as for non-listed webcams, unless you find one by luck with the same philips chips in it, I can't see it working.
