I am using XP Pro, with a 750k Internet connection, and I would like to connect my Fujifilm Finepix A201 as a Web Cam. The camera works fine in DSP mode, with no special software being loaded. I don't really want to use the software which came with the camera unless there is no other option. I have set the camera up in PC CAM mode, but I must need some sort of driver so I can use it for MSN Messenger.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Windrivers terrym
This is what the fuji faq have to say
After installing all the software for my FinePix camera, how do can I use my camera as a Webcam?
To use the camera as a web camera you need to set the camera to PC CAM mode.
This can be done be accessing the Setup menu on your camera and selecting the USB Mode. Change the USB Mode to PC CAM for webcam and DSC for data transfer to your PC.
Once the camera is in PC CAM mode it will automatically open Picture Hello with FinePix Viewer. The people you are wishing to chat to across the Internet must also have FinePix Viewer installed to communicate with you via Picture Hello.
If they don't have FinePix Viewer installed they can down load it from the Internet at www.fujifilm.co.uk/technical
Alternatively you can use Microsoft NetMeeting which is installed on all Windows PCs.
This is found by clicking on Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications and NetMeeting.
If you are using Windows XP you need click start and run then type CONF and click OK.
No mention of messenger I am afraid.... Did you set "DSC for data" ?
