This isn't excatly a solution to get THAT camera working, but here
they sell 100k pixel cameras for about 75 shekels- thats under $15 US.
If you are in North America or Europe you could probably find one even
cheaper than that. Something that uses Mass Storage drivers and maybe
even support for an SD card, That's much better than fiddling around
with propriatary windows drivers and muching up the system.
