Philips Webcam SPC 600 NC

So I ventured off to CompUSA today with 16 pages of camera info printed out from your website at hand in hopes of finding something that will work with my Mac.  I sat on the floor in the camera ailse and tried to find something that would work.  Needless to say... that list needs a bit of updating as there wasn't one single camera listed on that list available in the store.  I narrowed it down to two cameras... one was I believe a Creative Labs product that was named something like Live! Pro and the second was this Philips Webcam SPC 600 NC that I ended up purchasing.  How did I make that choice?  Actually... it was more like a gamble of probabilities, that I THINK I lost in the end anway.  I looked at the list of Creative Labs cameras and at the list of Philips cameras and went with the brand that appeared to have a greater probability of compatibility.  
 
 So... what is happening is this camera, you ask?  Your interface
 recognizes the camera and states it is connected, but when I hit the "PLAY" button... macam crashes immediately.  I restarted the computer and tried again... and the same results occured.  I then downloaded the IOXperts demo which can't find the camera at all... which makes me think I am doomed for this particular camera.  The little light in the camera goes on with the launch of your application, but that's as much glory as I can get.  I copied the failure report info if you want to wade through it.  I saved it as an rtf file which I can later send you, but will just paste the info at the end of this email in case you deny emails with attachments.  Any tips or tests you can provide before I take this webcam back today would be great.  THANKS for your time!
 
 All my computer info is in the report below... but the quick facts are as follows: 
 - G4 dual 1.25 GHz processors running OS X 10.4
 - Philips Webcam SPC 600 NC
 (connected to USB port at the back of the tower)
 
 Regards, 
 Jill
