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

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:
 
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.:(

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
 
@gyrobot
  • Connect and power on your webcam
  • 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
 
I have this webcam and I have no idea what type of model its is or what Brand it is? I do know the Hardware ID:

Vid_093a&Pid_2468&Rev_0100
Vid_093a&Pid_2468

I've looked throughout the whole thread and have found one response similar to mine but I still need some help.

There is a sticker on the back of my cam that says:
DF040330224

I Googled it and it came up with 0 results.

BTW whenever I connect it to my computer, it recognizes it as a CIF Single Chip. IDK what that means.

A physical description of it:

Small/Micro webcam
Silver-gray
2 1/2 inches tall
1 1/2 inch wide base
1 inch wide body
1/2 inch wide lens
Bottom has a sticky surface to cling to CPU.
Regular USB cord
 
I have a Windows XP. I used this cam before but when it crashed it got deleted. It used to work great and has a better res. than the one I have now.

OK. I see the download link in the old post is now dead :dead: Might take a day or two but will see if i can find another copy of that driver online.. and will post the results back here

fyi: a heads-up.. you might want to edit your prior post to remove your email as it will otherwise become prime target to be harvested by spam emailers and/or con- artists
 
@DrBarber

Give this a try.
> Download here. Extract the zip file content to your desktop
> Open the folder and double click to run file Mini 2_8.exe to start the installer
> If you're prompted with a notice about Windows Logo testing click Continue Anyway

You might need to reboot after the install to get the cam to recognize the new driver

Go to the site. Click the Download tab. Do you see an option Download this file by viewing a series of ads (no registration required)? That will let you download for free (after they show you about 6 ads. just say no thanks to each)

/* edit */
Not sure, but this option might only be available for residents of US. let me know...
