 * Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release, version 2.1
 * Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS
When you use a USB camera with certain PCI video cards in Windows 95 OEM Service Release version 2.1 (OSR2.1), performance may be reduced or your computer may seem to stop responding (hang). Video playback may also be affected.

 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click Display.
 * 2) On the Settings tab, click Advanced Properties.
 * 3) On the Performance tab, move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.
 * 4) Click OK or Close until you return to Control Panel. When you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.
