I recently bought Microsoft LifeCam VX-500 for my desktop. Its usually plug & play for Windows XP/Vista but it prompts for installation drivers for windows 2000 SP4. Can someone share the drivers for Win2000? There is no installation CD with the camera. Any help will be appreciated.

As Microsoft begins its slow migration to the integration of open-source software into it’s system, amazing things have happened. Most recently, Microsoft released 20,000 lines of code as a contribution to the linux Kernel which include 3 linux-based device drivers, all in the hopes of enabling Linux/Unix distros to be virtualized into programs such as Hyper-V for cross platform integration.

What is your opinion on this? Do you like it or not, and why?

I have a compaq Laptop that’s about 2-3 years old. It moves pretty slow and seems outdated. Sometimes it freezes and I need to remove the battery to fix it. I also have to do disk cleanup everyday for it to run well.
How would I go about upgrading it, as in adding more memory so it will run faster?
Will this keep it from freezing so often, and how much would upgrading it cost approx.?
Thanks for any help in advance.
