n Image Enlargement

Troubleshooting
What operating systems can this Driver Utility run on?
The Driver Utility can be used with Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and
Windows XP.
It cannot be used with Macintosh operating systems.
I connected the PC camera before installing the Driver Utility.
If the PC camera is connected by mistake before installing the Driver Utility, cancel installation of the
displayed USB device, disconnect the PC camera and install the Driver Utility.
The image is blurred.
Normally, a camera of 100,000 pixel cannot display an image at a resolution of 640 x 480, but this
product allows you to select a 640 x 480 resolution. When 640 x 480 has been selected, the image
enlargement feature of this product automatically enlarges a 320 x 240 image and displays it at 640 x
480. For this reason, the image may appear blurred. There is nothing wrong with the product.
With a 300,000 pixel camera, images can be displayed at 640 x 480 without using the image
enlargement feature.
