How is this possible ?

I have a Microsoft webcam, and Windows is incapable of finding a driver for it, it promises to look online, then comes back with nothing. How is that a reasonable result ? If it doesn't work for MS products, how can it work at all ? Oh, and they don't print the model on it anywhere, making it hard to just download the driver from Microsoft.

Do you have the documentation, or have you done 'The Man Thing' of throwing it away before consulting it?

The manly thing to do would be for him to write his own driver.

The manly thing to do would be to insist he didn't need a camera, what is he, vain? He wants to see himself on TV?

He probably wants to record a video of how to be manly. It will consist of him standing there doing manly things, including not buying another camera.

Take it you're still on Vista? 7 did a good job with me on Cam drivers recently, bought an MS LifeCam of some variety, popped in the CD and 7 instantly said no, there's a problem with these, click here to get the latest and greatest which work (well words to that effect), and simply put, it just did it and all works well.

This is typical of no-name-brand cheap hardware. Open the thing up, and see what's inside, then google for that. They probably all use the same driver anyways.

Let's turn this around: How is it possible for one man to have such a consistent run of disasters with hardware, airlines, and telcos?

Who said Microsoft talks to Microsoft? I have had problems with them for many years. When they first bought FoxPro I had a problem that FoxPro would not load if Excel had been opened and closed. Back then Excel had a BIG memory leak. I spent two days on the phone with Microsoft (shows you how long ago, support was free with software) with one group blaming the other. I finally figured it out on my own.

Hey Christian, I had to do something similar for a USB to serial dongle I had. It has no markings anywhere, and of course no driver CD either. I also was using XP for it. So, what I did was this: 1) Plug it into the XP box and watch the Found New Hardware boxes. Mine said something like USB to Serial Controller D 2) I took that and googled it - after looking through a few websites, I found a couple of drivers to try. I then found one that worked. Don't if the webcam would do the same, but it might be worth a shot. Other thing you could try is plugging it into a Vista or 7 box or VM and seeing if it can tell you what it is (because they might have the driver). David
