[SML] VW 12.5 in Windows 10... used to work, now....

[tech dept]

Micro$oft lightened up Windows 10 and in doing so removed a BUNCH of support drivers. Now everyone gets to figure out what's missing, to get their EXPENSIVE third party software to work again. 
Support for cameras has been wasting much of my time, recently.
