First test with PS3 Eye...Fail

So I got my PS3 Eye yesterday. Happy as a spring chicken (I assume they are happy) I jammed it into my laptop and expected the miracles to begin. Well first off I installed a old version of Alex P's PS3 eye driver [v2.0b81109] on my Windows 7 machine. Result? Fail. It ran perfect in all resolutions and framerates but after a few seconds of running it just died.

I poked around some more and found a updated driver [v2.1.0.0130] hidden in Alex P's blog. Loaded it up.. Fail.. Same again. To be fair to Alex it hasn't been tested for Windows 7 so I will install Vista tonight and give it another run. Bit sad start but I know it will work. Just need to give it a helping hand (aka threaten to make it a surveillance camera for my girlfriends chilliplant!)

*Don't worry dear girlfriend. I haven't wasted the money. It will work  :D
