    Anyone out there know how to run this thing? I've been using the MS 1222 on Vista Home Premium as a portable work station for a year or so, now I'd like to use the webcam, but I can't find any program to run. The P2 hot button is supposed to switch it on/off, but I don't get any results. I must add that I'm a complete beginner with webcam anyhow, I had this idea I'd find a desktop icon or at least a viewing window once it was operating...
    All advice gratefully received!

    my mistake, i misread your model.
    Not sure if this software will work.
    Maybe you need the Bison Webcam Driver?

    Thanks, cyber16, I have a BisonCam package installed. I thin maybe the problemis that Windows Vista isn't recognising the hardware; I can't find any camera refs in the peripherals manager except for a Sonix ST50122 USB camera, and what I have is a built in cmos digital camera...
