Notes
=====

1. To be sure you are always using updated driver repeat the above sequence
for EVERY USB connector where your camera is used. Windows remembers and 
loads different versions of driver on different UBS connectors for the same 
device (camera, for example).

2. To prevent white "flies" and shifted rows appearence on the camera picture
validate that each IDE device uses DMA/UltraDMA transfer mode on your PC.
In PIO (Programmed Input Out) Mode, the CPU gets involved in transferring 
the data from or to the storage device to or from system memory through 
the input or output ports. In DMA Mode, the job of transferring the data 
is handed over to a bus-mastering system controller called the DMA controller.
The DMA controller is set up or programmed to handle the DMA transfer.
This relieves the processor from the duty of preforming the data transfer
so it can do other tasks.
