You need the BIOS update and video driver.

: Hi,
: I've got a philips Toucam Pro 740K usb camera. I'm trying to install it on a thinkpad i series 1400 (2611-412), under Windows 98 (Not SE). Camera works fine on desktop system running Windows 98, but not on laptop.
: Symptoms are, on installation get a single still image - not video, and from then on when I try to use the video, I get a green or black screen, where the video should be.
: I've checked Bios settings (USB enabled), reinstalled webcam loads of times. I've got an 'ALi PCI to USB Open Host Controller', which is gives the device status - working properly. When I use Microsoft System Information - its on IRQ 10, along with IRQ Holder for PCI Steering - nothing else uses IRQ 10.
: Philips say I should update the mainboard chipset drivers, but I am unsure where to get them, or how to go about this. I've done other things that Philips have suggested - turn off video card acceleration, checked Control Panel/Multimedia/Devices/VideoCaptureDevices - its got Microsot WDM Image Capture, set as video capture device.
: Apologies for the length of post, but wanted to pass on as much key information as possible. (I was hoping to get this working before Christmas 2002!).
: Many thanks for any help / direction,
: Meg
