thanks, jess.

I think your web cam only has a driver for XP. Download HERE. Unzip the download file, double-click the executable to run it. If it gives you a warning about "Not Windows Logo tested" just click Continue. Hope it helps

If you try installing under Vista or Windows 7 and Windows won't install the driver for Vista or Windows 7, then you'll need to get a new camera compatible with those versions

Very impressed by LookinAround and co

2 months ago I stopped looking for Windows 7 drivers for my camera because I thought it was impossible. I red the first page of this thread about Hardware ID's, but no result yet, I can't even find my windows xp drivers (don't have the cd anymore, I do have several backups of the installers..)

Can I ask anyone to check these Hardware ID's?

Hardware ID
USB\Vid_093a&Pid_7011&Rev_0100
USB\Vid_093a&Pid_7011

Service
mr8980 (the M should mean Mars by mars-semi.com.tw/mr8980a.html, already mailed them but no answer)

This is the camera:

Many many thanks ands sunny greetings from Belgium!

EDIT: I searched a bit on the site and found a matching ID at techspot.com/vb/topic163084.html, downloading the file in LookinAround's post right now.

Hi Jan Van Akkere

Sorry but i couldn't find any other driver info relevant to your Hardware ID

Did you have any luck with the driver you downloaded? You might also gootle and try DriverIdentifier, sometimes helps

Cant find a driver

Well i just realized that i had a webcam at home..

Theres no logo or any print on it to identify

The hardware id is

USB\VID_06A5&PID_D001\5&1651E61A&0&1


I could find only one hardware id though... Hope u could help me

Thanks

Hi balachandransen

It looks like this is an older webcam. Only possible driver match i found is for Win 2000/XP. If you're running Vista or Win 7, you need a new web cam. Are you still running XP? I'll need to give you instructions to install the driver files using the Hardware Update Wizard to install the XP driver. let me know

Ya using Win Xp

Yes, its a very old one.! And yes i am using Win XP
Thanks for ur efforts!!!

Well, here’s my best guess.... The potential driver I found (for your Hardware ID USB\VID_06A5&PID_D001) doesn't come with a "self-install" executable. So we'll use Device Manager to select your web cam and then manually point Windows to the driver files we want it to install

!!! I advise you first create a System Restore point before attempting to install this new driver, just to be cautious !!!

Download the zip file HERE
> Extract the files and save them in a folder on your Desktop
> Note the file named P35uDisk.inf (you’ll need this later)

Next,
> Open Device Manager. Right click your web cam device, select Update Driver. The Hardware Update Wizard opens
> Select No, not this time, click Next
> Select Install from a list or location, click Next
> Select Don’t search. I will choose driver, click Next
> If you see a window to select Hardware Type, select Show All, click Next

You should eventually get to a Window similar to below. Click Have Disk button. Now browse to the P35uDisk.inf file in your Desktop folder, select it and continue with the device install.

I hope it works <fingers crossed>
> P.S. When you're done you can delete the Desktop folder you created. Though you might want to save the original zip file in case you should need to install again

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot LookinAround.. Finally got it working perfectly
Thanks again

Hi balachandransen,
You're most welcome!

Glad to hear the good news and glad i was able to help

Hello,

I cannot find a driver for my "Genius VideoCAM Look" webcam.
This is an old version and here are the IDs:

USB\VID_0C45&PID_60B0&REV_0101&MI_00
VID_0C45&PID_60B0&MI_00

I currently use Windows 7 - 64 bits.

Could you please help me to find out a driver for this?

Thanks,
Murilo

Hi mottcorrea

Looks like you have an old model Genius webcam. Best i could tell, there are only XP 32bit drivers for that cam (HERE if someone still using XP should happen across this thread)

But since you're running W7 64bit, you'll need to buy a new compatible cam

Built In Webcam Not Working...?

Hey, I have an ASUS Laptop thats about 4 years old. I recently acquired it from my brother, and when we cleared the hard drive, etc, and reinstalled the OS, It showed the Webcam drivers in my Programs section. When I tried to use said Webcam on Skype, it wasn't detected. I found out it mysteriously dissapeared from my Programs section, when I clearly remember seeing something with Asus Webcam in its name.
Im really stuck and have been trying for a good month now with how to "find" this Webcam inside my programs again. I can clearly see it as well, its directly above my screen.
I really need help, please.
Forgot to Mention, my Laptop is the
ASUS Notebook N80vb N80VM Series
And I've checked, and it clearly states "Built-In Webcam".

The first question is whether or not your cam device appears in Device Manager. You need to look back at the very first post in this thread and follow its instructions to look for your web cam in Dev Mgr. Look for any yellow icons and also look closely all categories especially USB, Imaging Devices and Other Devices.

I actually did. I checked everywhere in my device manager-It wont register. I also tried to add it with legacy hardware, it didn't register.

If you can't find it in Device Manager (either by name or at least reference to an unknown or "Other" device error in dev mgr) then Windows can't detect the cam hardware. Meaning
> it's turned off (if it has an on/off switch)
> It's disabled in BIOS (you can check but don't know if cams have a bios option)
> or the cam hardware has failed

Are other usb devices being detected? here's a long shot but it's easy to try. Power down computer. remove battery. unplug from AC. Let it sit overnight. Plug in and try again in the morning.

driver for my webcam

i too have a problem.i cannot find my device driver..my cam hardware id

please help me

Hi bibek010

Try the driver HERE.

1. Download the zip file, unzip and save the files in a folder on your Desktop
2. Open Device Manager. Right click the webcam. Select Update Drivers
3. Then "No, not this time" click Next. "Install from a list or location" click Next
4. Check "Include this location in the search" then Browse to the folder on your Desktop from step 1, click Next
5. Let Windows do the install and reboot after the driver install is complete

Hello.So,I need some help with my camera as well.My laptop is an MSI one and the model is MSI-6837D and my windows is Vista.The camera has actually never worked and I have tried quite a lot of things that apparently don't work or I can't do them properly.There is some kind of driver on my laptop but I don't know why it doesn't work.I guess I have to download something to make it work.The PC just doesn't seem to even recognize a camera.I read somewhere that pressing the Fn and F6 together will find the camera but it didn't.I just have no idea how to make this thing work.So if u could help I would be very happy.Just keep in mind that I'm not great at dealing with stuff like that thanks in advance

Hi stefi

I don't know if can help but will take a look

1. Are you sure of your laptop's model number. I can't find anything on MSI's web site for that model #
2. See How To Report Your Computer's Device Manager Data and please provide a report
