Hi,

I have an 770X with Windows 98 as OS. I want to use a LG
USB Webcam type LPC U20 for videoconferencing. I've used
this cam on a Win 95 OSR2 desktop succesfully before, but
I can't get it to work with my Thinkpad.
My HP USB scanner does work with my laptop, but it uses
an external power supply, whereas the webcam draws its
power from the USB port.

Could my problem be caused by a lack of power flowing from
the laptop to the USB webcam? Has anyone else got a similar
setup to work?

Regards,

Jeroen
