516862 2007-01-17 10:08:00 The missus just got herself a Logitech web cam, a requirement for her long-distance uni study she's about to undertake. It's labelled as a QuickCam Communicate STX. We hoped to install it on my machine, XP Pro SP1, but during the install it refuses to do so without SP2.

We can install it on her laptop which has XP Home SP2, but I'm confussed as to why it insists on SP2. The specs on the box say that all that is required is Win 2000 or XP.

Can anyone recommend a workaround to bypass the SP2 requirement so that I can install it on my main machine?

Thanks.

If its v10.x u need SP2.

Looks like you're not the only one with this prob (forums.logitechio.com)

Get an earlier version of Quickcam from the ftp (ftp://ftp.logitech.com/)
