How to identify your webcam (and then find its driver)

The comments for this driver said it should work for both XP and Vista (both 32 and 64 bit versions). Not sure about Windows 7

In any case, i'd first create a System Restore point before trying the install

Download HERE

Try these instructions

Code:

1. Download the zip file to Desktop
2. Unzip the files and save them in a folder on your Desktop
3. Open Device Manager, rt click on the webcam ->Update Drivers ->Browse my computer for driver software ->
4. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have disk -> 
5. Now browse to the folder with unzipped files (from step 2). Select file oem13.INF, click OK (or Install or something like that, i forget)
6. Reboot after the driver update is complete

Please Help

Ok...um..I know I might sound a lot like other people who've posted thread..but I really would like some help in this matter, please. I'm only 15.

Ok, I followed ALL of the directions that you gave...up until the part where I had to search for a driver for my webcam. That's where I got confused. First of all, because I don't know where I'm supposed to search for a driver. And second....I kinda don't know how.

My two (2) Hardware ID's are as follows :
USB\\Vid_041e&Pid_4051&Rev_0100
USB\\Vid_041e&Pid_4051

The manufacturer of my webcam is Creative Labs, Inc. if that helps.
Model Number is VF0250, if that helps also.

My Best Regards,
Patches

Check out what you find at THIS LINK. It includes the latest downloads/drivers from Creative for model VF0250. Hope that helps

Ohhhmyyygoshhhhh , thankss sooooo much , times a thousand! Couldn't have done it without your help!

You're most welcome. Glad to help!

Hello,
I got so motivated by reading your successful stories that I hope I could get some help too

These are the ID that I have about my webcam (Labtec 1200) but I can't find any drivers

USB\Vid_093a&Pid_2464&Rev_0100
USB\Vid_093a&Pid_2464

The usual software like AMCap (or XP-SocPcCamerazenithusbdriver) didn't work.. Oh, and my system is XP HE 2002.

Would anybody please help out?

Thank you!

Hi NoodlesJoe :wave:

I think i found the vendor's download site for you cam HERE. Is that it?

Also, i hope you're still running XP as it doesn't look like there are any Vista or Win 7 compatible drivers for your cam

Thanks alot for your reply LookinAround:grinthumb
ive been to that site and that is the one had already downloaded,
so i kept on searching and found the one i need here and it has worked perfect.

i cant post link but it was @ driverskit. com


cheers NJ

Good job NJ! :approve: :grinthumb

help me pls..

i cant find my driver on my camera..my pc was reformated..my webcam is crypto..

this is my hardware id's for my webcam..

1. USB_08C8&PID_301B&REV_0100
2. VID_08C8&PID_301B

hope some1 can help me find my driver for my webcam..i tried some driver..but it didnt work...thank you so much..

Are you sure about the IDs you found?
1. I'm guessing you transcribed by hand as i believe the first ID is really USB\VID_08C8&PID_301B&REV_0100 but that's OK as that's what i looked for
1. I can't find anything about those IDs and anything to do with cams
2. So i checked and found VID_08C8 is assigned to 2Wire corp. I think 2wire only makes network products. Do you have a USB network adapter by chance?

Are you sure you have the right IDs? Are you sure your cam is being detected?

Try this: Do it first with the cam unplugged from the USB port. Generate the list and copy/paste into next post. Then do again with cam plugged in. I'd like to see both the before and after report.

Also what version of Windows are you running?

• Click Start->Run, enter: msinfo32. Click the + sign next to Components to expand it
• Click Problem Devices. Anything appear?
• If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post
• On the other hand, if no devices are listed, tell me so

Webcam driver

I followed the step on the 1st post and got this driver id:
VID_0C45&PID_627F\5&2E0A5744&0&4

I tried looking for the driver online but I can't find any for free, I hope someone can help me look for a free download.

Thanks a lot. Help will be greatly appreciated.
