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

Can you link me to where I can download the drivers?
As I've dual booted with XP Professional with no luck with the drivers disk.
Same model and hardware id as before. It would be greatly appreciated. As previously mentioned, I'm on Windows XP Professional 32-Bit.

Cheers

Hmmm... If you can't get the cam to work using the original drivers disk I think it might mean the cam itself isn't working. Though you can also try this driver here

Am I correct you are trying to uninstall the driver?

If the web cam was installed with a web cam application, then you should first look in Add/Remove programs first to uninstall the web cam application first.

Then if driver still exists in Device Manager you can right click it and select Uninstall

Also note your web cam is also a bit old. There are no new drivers to support your webcam under Vista or Windows 7.

Hello everyone! I have tried to find the suitable driver for my camera using the method kindly described in this thread, but searching for USB\VID_093A&PID_2468\5&2AB15CF0&0&1 did not yield any result (with or without USB\, google and yahoo search).

Can anybody help me on this one?

Thanks!

You want to search for USB\VID_093A&PID_2468 (i.e. you can ignore everything after that second "\" in the string)

I hope you're still running XP as looks like no support for Vista or Win 7 drivers for this old cam

Thanks. I found this thread: techspot.com/vb/topic107943.html#post637255 in which you suggested a certain driver. I have downloaded the ezblk_xp2k from nodevice.com/driver/download.html#body, but when trying to install the Windows wizard only allows me to select the location of the ezblk_xp2k\ezblk_xp2k\Driver\Setup\XPInf or ezblk_xp2k\ezblk_xp2k\Driver\Setup\Inf subfolders, but then it cannot install. If I paste the location of the ezblk_xp2k folder in the wizard window that allows to specify the location to be searched, when I click "next" I get the message that "the location you specified does not contain any device information files". I have tried installing the setup.exe file and it seemed to install ok but the cam is still not recognized. I am using XP pro SP3. Any idea what could be the problem?

Problem solved, thanks! I have found the right driver at davesdrivers.com/forum/showthread.php?mode=linear&tid=501&pid= in form of a ez388xp.zip file that is, surprisingly, totally different than the ezblk_xp2k tried before.

Now, do all the webcams provide such a horrible image? Or is it just my looks?:haha:

Good job! :approve: and LOL! :haha:

My laptop has a built-in webcam, but when I first got my computer I let a friend configure everything for me and I haven't been able to use it since. If it was requested to me on MSN for example, I could use it, but the actual webcam program itself is nowhere to be found.

Found the driver

Dear friend LookinAround,

I managed to find the driver for the webcam, which happens to be Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. Once I found the model name, the rest was easy. Got the driver from Logitech site.

Wanted to post the link from where I found it. Unfortunately I cannot do it unless I have more than 5 posts (I have 3 now). Can't even help someone who might be hunting for it.

Hi again! rajevcharudutta

Good work! :grinthumb Great to hear you identified the cam found a solution! :approve:

Try going to the support site for your laptop's manufacturer. See what software they offer there. Also download and look at the computer's manual about using the webcam

I'm also looking for the Logitech n231 driver.

Hi Rajevcharudutta, I'm also looking for the Logitec n231 webcam driver sofware. Where did you find it? Please email me kumanan.l at gmail.com

I really need help, my Webcam is a V-Gear talkcam 1.1 series but since my computer crashed and lost the driver data (and since V-Gear has shut down, finding the driver is seemingly impossible.) I was wondering if you can help me locate teh driver for the V-Gear 1.1

Are you running XP? you can try this here

The Link is dead
