Like, can I install a webcam or a controller even though if my OS doesn't support them? I'm having trouble installing something.

I tried to download them from the website but they only have the software available for XP and Vista and I use Win7.

The device could work. Last year, My MS Lifecam VX-7000 needed 3rd party MS drivers in order to run in Win 7. Now, I plugged the VX-7000 on another PC which has a newer install of Win 7. The drivers were already built-in although it had to be updated via Windows Update.

Usually, Vista drivers and Win 7 drivers are interchangeble. That's the first time I've seen otherwise.
