Is there any way of using old webcam and printer in Windows 7? Vista if I remember well had an option to run as if it was xp.

Is there a Windows 7 driver for it? Check the manufacturer's website, if they have a Vista driver that should even be good enough.

The compatibility mode in Windows 7 works in a similar way to Vista but it doesn't always work for drivers, especially if you're installing a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system, in that case it plain won't work.
