Hi; I am trying to install my Sharp viewcam VL-NZ100. I run into an error
message and would like to get help resolving this so I can connect my camera
to my compaq computer. I have Windows XP home edition.

The message I get: The software you are using has not passed Windows logo
testing to Verify It's Compatibility with Windows XP...

Please help asap. Thank you very much! Kris

The error message simply means that the Sharp have not submitted the
software to Microsoft for testing. In return Microsoft issue a certificate
so that this error message doesn't popup. My understanding is that Microsoft
charge for this certification, therefore, some manufacturers' are reluctant
to pay for the privledge of having the Microsoft certification.
I have a hauppauge WinTV Nova T digital TV box connected to my PC and get
exactly the same message when i load the software. I simply press OK and let
the software install. I haven't had any problems so far.
As a precaution, if you are the least bit worried, i'd create a system
restore point prior to installing the viewcam software. If any problems
occur you can always restore your system at a later date.
