TZ31WN downgraded to XP - Now the camera won't work

I've downgraded the above laptop to XP usin the DISC supplied and the drivers and utilities from the web site but now the camera can't be used.
It shows up in Device Manager as a USB Imaging Device but Skype and the Camera wizard can't use it.
Can anybody help please ?
TIA

Tried that thanks. Ininstalled and rebooted a few times to reinstall but it hasn't helped.

Problem solved now that the instructions are on the web site. If anyone has the same problem here's the bit I needed. I was working on the USB Video Device not the Composite device

13) Camera driver installation (for the models equipped with a integrated camera):
a. Go to Start > Control Panel
b. Double click on “System”
c. Click on the Hardware tab and click on “Device Manager”
d. Click on the + before Universal Serial Bus controllers
e. Right click on “USB Composite Device” and select Update driver
f. Select in the Wizard “No, not this time” and press Next
g. Select “Install from a list or a specific location” and press Next
h. Select “Don’t search, I will choose the driver to install” and press Next
i. Press on “Have Disk…”
j. Browse to the folder Drivers and then Camera and press Open
k. Press OK, then Next
l. Press Finish when done.
