i do believe wintv cards are fully functional with XP now, but don't hold it against me if i'm wrong

good luck

so all in all is this a good way to capture shots for images , do i need software ,wires ,etc, can you leave the camera on ,can you send streaming video , how is its quality compared to a webcam !would you do it this way or buy a webcam !

dazzle works well also

you have to purchase the software to save images via wintv after the trial period

capture is only as good as the input, of course

you can buy digital cameras that download to computer thru serial port for less than $30 now, about the same cost as the wintv software
