27684	2001-12-16 03:20:00	I have an Acer DSC300 digital camera, and have used it before on a WinMe based computer without trouble. However, I recently bought a USB-PCI card in order to use the camera on an older, Win98 based computer. When I try to use the camera in its webcam mode, or to download photos to the computer, it gives an error, usually a blue screen type, then refuses to work. I have tried ther original, and updated drivers for the camera, and am beginning to suspect the USB/PCI card. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?	Guest (0)

The USB card virtually set itself up automatically, using drivers from Win98. I haven't any other USB devices to test it with.	Guest (0)
