    I just finished doing a duel boot with XP and Vista. The webcam does not work with quick play in XP. I do have it working with scanners and cameras in the control panel. I put a short cut on my desktop. Anybody no how to get it to work with quickplay.Sometimes when you uncheck things in msconfig it could mess it up but I rechecked everything and it does work with the scanners and cameras.

    A dual boot is where the computer can boot into two operation systems. Like Apple computers can run both OS X and Windows. The hard drive contains both OS', and can then start up the computer into whichever the user chooses.

    I installed quickplay 2.3 and it works except for the webcam and the web cam works with the scanner and cameras function.
