What kind of camera are you installing ? Do you have XP Service Pack 2
installed? If you do not, you should install this asap. The windows service packs contain alot of the system files and may contain usbcone.sys so when you install it you may be fixing your problem. if you right click on the My Computer icon, click properties. this will tell you how much memory you have and if you have service pack 2.

Hi,
Yes it should find the file you need, but depending on how many disk you have you may have to insert several before it finds the file. -- All the best, SG How to Write a Newsgroup Post: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Usenet "candlaw" wrote in message ...

Sorry if this is in the wrong area but I am fairly computer unsavvy!! It's prompting for the XP CD but the file is actually on the CD that came with the webcam, so put that CD in. You may have to click the Browse button and look through the different folders on the CD drive till the folder with the file is located. -- Joe =o)

Now I am just getting a green picture on my cam it is a samsung anycam, probably pretty useless but i thought i would try any suggestions for my next prob Cheers L

Also try Samsung Support. -- Joe =o)
