It would be handy to stick one of my Nikon cameras on a tripod and use

charge rather a lot of money for their Capture software suite.

Is there a generic type capture util that will work with the Nikon?

The cheap & nasty Vivicam had this included with the drivers already in
XP, but its not so good with no optical zoom.

Any help appreciated - thanks.

The screenshot that comes with XP (ctrl + Prnt Scrn) makes an
uncompressed bit map which you can open and Zoom directly in MS Paint,
or do as I do and tweak it in GIMP.
