Finding Drivers
If you do end up with a device for which you have no drivers, your first task is to find suitable drivers. The first and most obvious place, of course, is the CD or floppy disk that came with the device. If you have a new device, it most likely will have drivers for Windows XP. Sometimes, however, you may find the wrong disk in the box with your new device, or no disk. In this case, if you have an old device, or a new one, for which Windows XP has no drivers, you'll have to go searching.

There are a wide variety of sources for drivers, many more than I can cover here. But I can give you a starting point and discuss some of the best places to search.

Windows Update Catalog
The first place to look is the Windows Update Catalog. Windows Update automatically checks your PC and offers updates for your hardware. You can also turn on the Windows Update searchable database of driver updates. To turn this on:

1.
Go to Windows Update.

2.
In the left pane, under other options, click Personalize Windows Update.

3.
Select the Display the link to Windows Update Catalog under See Also check box.

4.
Click Save Settings to enable the See Also link.


Now whenever you're at the Windows Update site, you can click the Windows Update Catalog link to brink up a searchable database of thoroughly tested drivers for Windows XP. This can be useful if you know exactly which driver you need. The database is updated weekly.

Answer 3

There must be something else on it somewhere,
Microsoft Windows Embedded simply means that the camera basically uses the Windows operating system (like Windows CE) to run its internal functions and user interface.
I would think that since it has Windows on it already, it should communicate better with Windows if you are wanting to connect it to your PC.
Apart from that, we'd need more information about manufacturer, etc.
