I. ABOUT THIS RELEASE
=====================

This is a pre-release version of VideoCAM drivers for Windows 2000. 
Kensington is making this beta release publicly available in order
to get as much feedback as possible regarding bugs and compatibility.
We will work hard to identify and fix all major bugs before the 
final release.

However, because this is not a final release, it has not yet 
undergone the level of internal testing we feel is adequate to 
ensure a problem-free experience. Therefore, we recommend that 
you treat this release as you would any other beta software. Be
sure to back up any important files before installing this 
software. Do not use this release on a "mission critical" 
machine, because we cannot guarantee freedom from errors, 
crashes, or other anomalous behavior. Be sure to read the list
of known issues below, as there are some features that are not
yet working quite as expected. Finally, please provide us with
feedback on any bugs you experience. This will help us to make
the software as solid and reliable as we can. See below under
"How to Report a Bug" for details.



II. HISTORY OF CHANGES
======================

This is the first BETA driver release. It should provide basic 
video capture and twain functionality for the VideoCAM, VideoCAM VGA,
and VideoCAM SVGA.


III. KNOWN DRIVER PROBLEMS
=========================
1.The Microphone on SVGA will not work.

2.The twain device that is shown is named "Aox 401 Reference" 
When using twain compliant applications, choose this device.

3.The driver has not completed Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Testing
and has not yet recieved a driver verification signature. Therefore you will recieve
the Windows 2000 warning about the driver not being verified. It is okay to say install 
anyway. We are planning to have the final release comply to WHQL specs and recieve 
the driver signature.


IV. HOW TO REPORT A BUG
=======================

Bug reports should be sent to vc_beta@kensington.com.

Please enter "Bug Report for (Insert Operating System)" in the 
subject field of your message, along with one or more asterisks
to describe the severity of the problem. 

***** - freeze-ups, reproducible crashes, installation problems, 
        etc. 
****  - GPFs in certain applications, conflicts with other input
        devices,etc. 
***   - certain features of MouseWorks do not work in some 
        applications. 
**    - other less severe issues. 
*     - very cosmetic issues. 

So a typical subject heading will look like 
"Bug Report for Win2000 VideoCAM drivers - **".

1.  Your name and telephone number.
