I've seen an SPC880 running on Windows 7 without being flashed. All you need to do is install the drivers manually and point it to the SPC900 drivers. It'll probably give you some warnings about the driver not being the right one but it does work - I've seen it.

Your message may have solved the problem I posted on 8 Jan. It is the "point it to the 900 drivers" that may be difficult. When running the exe.file from Morgan's site to install the 900 drivers, there are no errors reported but it is not clear where the drivers are installed. How do you find them?

Thanks Altair. Have already tried that but no luck.

Problem with SPC 900 & Win 7

I flashed an 880 to 900 on my XP laptop - no problems, thanks to Russ's tutorial. The camera was then tried on a friend's Win 7 laptop but it did not work. Downloaded spc900.00dw7_eng.exe from Morgans, ran it (no error reports) and connected the 900. The camera's light came on and there was the usual sound when things are plugged into USB port; however, Win 7 did not ask for the driver.

Windows reported “device working properly” but on opening capture software (Sharpcap), the camera was not listed , only the laptop's built in webcam. Over 2-3 hours we tried reinstalling software and anything we could think of - without success. We tested the ports with other devices and they were OK. If the 900 had inadvertently been plugged in before the correct drivers had been installed, would that prevent the 900 from working? Any help would be much appreciated.
