Web Camera in VPC

I have an Intel Web Camera, old, runs only on Win98.
So I fired up my ever-present VPC with 98 running,
and 'installed' the software from the Intel CD.
And plugged the camera into the USB port....and it
doesn't find it.

Anybody had experience in this pursuit?

Thanks.....

VPC2007 does not support USB, at all.
Windows VPC for Windows 7 does, but USB support is a function that requires
the Integration Components, there are no IC for Win98.

So, in short, no USB for Win98+VPC. You could try VMWare Player/WKS,
VirtualBox, or Parallels WKS

Thanks, Steve. It's bad news, but at least conclusive.

VPC doesn't support USB.

But, VMWare Player and VirtualBox are both free and will coexist with VPC.
