Try this one: http://www.esnips.com/doc/d8d9c7c2-4...enithusbdriver
or this one: http://www.sakar.com/images/resource...river/cifA.zip

Thanks for your prompt reply!

But I tried the two and they don't work. It's weird because the cam works with my friend's IBM laptop and I checked the driver that it is using on the said laptop and look for it on the web but still does not work with other PCs... btw the driver is PIXART - PCF027.SYS... I feel hopeless, any other suggestions...

You just need to run a Driver Backup on the working computer
Then save the driver to a USB Flash Drive
Then take it to your computer - All done

Hmm, there's literally thousands of these "driver backup" free tools, this is the first one I found at a Google search: http://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/
But just search Google for free driver backup software, they all work (maybe someone will post the best one they know of)

Great idea! Will try it later when I get a hand on my friend's PC and will keep you posted if it works... Thanks so much!

How quickly we forget... Though it was awhile back See kimsland's post last Sept, 2008 (click here)

And, of course, using a driver backup tool is still another good idea!

But one question, are you running XP? If yes, you shouldn't have a problem. If you're running Vista or Windows 7, these drivers may not work

Oh: 093a&PID_2460
There it is Thanks LookinAround, too many posts in this thread and others similar

For others searching for their webcam, always read the entire thread first

Rather then reading the whole thread (or for searching, in general) here's the trick:

This is the ID the OP posted USB\VID_093A&PID_2460\5&C4240CA&0&1
> The first part of the string USB\VID_093A&PID_2460 is the Hardware ID
> The complete string is the Device Instance ID

The Device Instance ID is unique to the computer. (That's why Windows adds all those characters at the end)

The Hardware ID is what identifies the cam.
> So one should go searching for Hardware ID
> It's far, far less likely one will find matches for a Device Instance ID

p.s. As for reason and why need a Hardware ID vs a Device Instance ID, think of the case of attaching 2 identical web cams to the same computer. Windows must create a unique ID for each cam in order to differentiate between the two

Oh I get it, like this then:



Members should search for Hardware ID

Yes! That's the idea. (and great graphics )

Though for complete technical accuracy....

1) What you refer to as "connection" is actually called the "device enumerator" (or simply "enumerator", for short)
> Windows "enumerates" all the devices it finds on its PCI bus or USB bus (those being just 2 types of device enumeration)
2) The Hardware ID includes the enumerator
3) Tho for searching purposes i've found it worthwhile to search for the Harware ID both with and without the enumerator included

OH. And one more technical tidbit as this might help one visualize the concept...

If you'd like to see all the device enumerations on your computer
> Click Start->Run, enter regedit
> Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum

You'll see a list of the enumerators and a subkey for each device enumerated
> Here's a view of my computer and a partial list of my PCI enumerated devices
