It took a lot of effort (well, a hell of a lot of wall-clock time, anyway),
but I finally have my C1VE working with Windows XP.  My "gold standard"
benchmark for this (because I need to get out more, I suppose) is to have
sound, mic, and camera working in PalTalk, and they do - although I'd still
like the camera to show up in "Scanners and Cameras".

I couldn't possibly give a blow-by-blow account, but this setup includes:
- Camera driver for Win2000 from Sony
- Applications like SmartCapture from the drivers CD of a more recent
Picturebook (C1MHP) which shipped with XP
- and assorted other hairy adventures

Performance is slightly less than brilliant; it seems that the point at
which XP "tips" (in current military parlance) from slow to fast, is
somewhere between 128 and 192MB RAM - although the C1MHP with 256MB isn't
overwhelmingly fast either, so maybe Intel slipped Bill a few bucks to
cripple the Crusoe.  But for a second machine (I have to keep NT 4.0 on my
main office PC for a while yet, to support users), it's fairly usable.

I'm willing to give others some tips, if you want to post this and my
address on your site.
