You may need to connect it more than downloading the CON drivers: the cables are not as long as in the photo and don't need to multiple ends. I have a slide over USB adapter but instead of two different adapters I have two types of CPRO: It uses a generic webcam driver, d do? The first machine I got working was Windows 7 and it works, I haven't tried other machines but that's a bonus, its portability. You can't focus too far, I would say the camera has to be within 4 inches? Got an extra microscope stand - now it's a really neat little tool. If you know someone who is a science teacher, give them this or at least send a link on the topic.
