Good for Windows XP maybe.

Had to return mine as no matter what, I could not get it to focus clearly. Included software was pointless and severely outdated. In order for software to run it uses Legacy CPL which is a slow way to communicate with the camera. Find another that is more modern and can use standard drivers.

I like Linux but I could not figure out how to install my XP compatable software. I think you can install and use it on Linux but I just could not figure it out. If you just want to surf the net for cheap you will be happy with this. If you want to download file from the internet you may have to store them on a flash drive. I bought this and returned it and got a ASUS with XP and 120GB hard drive, 1.6 MHz, 6 Hour battery instead.

I had one of these for my older Dell desktop operating Windows XP. Lost it while moving. Ordered this one as replacement. Husband gave away computer and monitor to charity without my knowledge. Now I have no use for this item. However, if it is as good as the missing one, it is terrific for XP. I paid $13.99 on Amazon to purchase but would cost at least $8.06 to return so I will try to sell elsewhere...or will donate to charity.

couldn't get this to work on a XP laptop, tried multiple methods. windows wouldn't recognize the usb device.  went to the manufacturers web site to download the install files that way in case the disk was the problem and no luck . item is back in the box ready to ship back.

be forewarned that XP operating systems on Dell do not always recognize this device in the front USB port. According to people on the Dell site, if you update the XP drivers you will be able to use it. Otherwise, not a bad device.

It works well on XP.  Did not have any luck on Windows 10.  It capture well and could not be easier.  It was a long delivery time but woth the weight.

I've tried this program on 5 different Windows XP computers, and it only runs on one of them.  And, yes I have done all the compatibility adjustments.

This is criminal that the software company just doesn't fix this and distribute a patch for all of us that have a child that really wants to run the program.

This is a good, cheap printer for Windows 95/98/ME users but Windows 2000 and XP users need to use a beta Win2K driver (v0.22) that is not very reliable. Since all new computers are now sold with XP I would not recommend this printer for use with a new system until Minolta/QMS releases a reliable, non beta driver.

When I tested it on my old, crippled, windows XP having, laptop; it worked, and it worked well, considering I'm about as far as I can physically get from the wireless router without being outside in the yard. However, they won't get any points for their documentation or clearly stating which operating system this is supposed to run on.

You might have noticed that there are a lot of different versions of this product on the store page. Do your research as to which one you need. And while it isn't clearly stated, this is intended for Windows 2000/XP/Vista and recently, Windows 7 and 8.1 . If you have either of the last two, you can find the drivers that work on the Rosewill website. The CD comes with out of date drivers. It seems to have trouble with 64 bit operating systems, and if you have windows 10, just skip it entirely.

The box contained the device itself, which feels solid and has a very nice antenna that rotates and pivots; the small usb stand and cable; a "resource" CD, and two tiny square pieces of paper which contain a health warning, and some simple instructions. The instructions fail to mention that the end of the device is covered by a cap, which hides the usb plug, or that you have to screw the antenna on, but it's very straightforward. Even when not on the stand, it's bulky enough that I wouldn't use it on a laptop that actually gets moved around, but it works well for my desktop computer. Once you have everything installed, use the configuration utility that comes with the drivers, and it should work fine.

If you were to make the mistake of purchasing this for a windows 10 system, you may be able to salvage things by downloading the windows 10 drivers from realtek. I ended up emailing their tech support, who basically told me that the operating system wasn't supported and recommended a different product that, according to their website, also isn't compatible. I urge you not to make the same mistake I did.

Not your fault my Windows XP Computer broke though I could get it to work on 7 or 10  it would not.

I gave this a five star because I already have been using Windows 7 on my other machines and I have had no problems with it.  I bought 7 for my home machine simply because XP was no longer going to be supported by Microsoft.

On my old XP system.  Never was able to get this to run under Win7.  That's sad because I like id a little better than CTP2.

It met my expectations. Given that Microsoft is dropping support for Windows XP and I have an older PC, I was glad to find it here.

Just bought one about a month ago. It's all right, Vista's interesting enough...but there are a few things that I've noticed that I'm not really thrilled about. First off, this computer doesn't come with Microsoft Office. You have to go out and actually buy it, and I don't know about you, but I'm not too keen on spending upwards of $100 on programs that are pretty much standard on any new computer nowadays. Especially when Vista's supposed to be the hot new thing on the market.

Secondly, that flashy LightScribe DVD-CD writer combo drive? Not all it's cracked up to be. Sure, it'll do all sorts of fancy things with your DVDs and make them pretty, but when it comes to say, doing something as basic and standard as ripping the music from one of your CDs and copying it to your Media Player, that's a no-go. Won't just play the CDs either. It'll burn anything you already have on your computer to a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc. and read CD-ROMs, but it won't actually just PLAY a regular music CD.

I don't know if that's some sort of Vista glitch or just the LightScribe's overcompensating flashiness to make up for its lack of basic function or what have you. Either way, I'm not too pleased with that. For what it's worth, it's an okay computer. Just be prepared to pick up a copy of Microsoft Office and a CD drive while you're still in the store.

...I kinda miss XP.

Have been running this on my laptop for months.  No complaints and really I notice no real improvement over XP

Have used on windows XP and worked great - 5 stars then.  Does not work on windows 8, even when in compatibility mode. So, if you have Windows 8, don't risk it.  Some people have reported it worked for them in compatibility mode.

Work fine.  Drop connection on the occasion.  Just don't like the fact that I need to install the driver since it's not automatically recognized by Windows XP.  Don't loose the driver CD.
