Hi,

I just got a Vivitar 3710 Digital camera. How do I use it as a web cam.
I plug the USB in it and it flashes back and forth from green to red and
then stays on red and
then I can only use it as a drive. The manual says for PC Camera mode it
will light green by pressing the
PC mode button, but it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Does the manual say what form of USB you need - 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0?

No, it just says I need a USB port.

This may sound like a stupid question but I got to ask, did you load the
driver?

Sorry for taking so long but, your last post didn't show up in outlook,
so I had to use google.
It said for windows 2000 it didn't need drivers and it loaded
automatically when I plugged it in.
