Got any ideas of what I can do?

No xp drivers were ever made cause the company went out of business. So the install program would ERROR saying wrong version of windows and halt install. So I pulled a Harddrive from a 98 machine with the working cam software already installed drivers and all and set it as a slave. Still would not work as dll's reported wrong ver.also. And compat mode on the exe. failed and was useless!(XP also has that compatibility mode.)So maybe it will only works for a prog that is complete in the one exe file only (meaning it does not have to install dll and othe system files, etc.).
