Old web cam

wchen64572 · 07-08-2009, 10:00 PM

I have an old IBM webcam that I dug and tried to do video chatting. However after I installed the driver and tried to start the program. The program starts fine but then it gives me an error message that the camera is not connected to the computer. Is there any drivers for vista for other solutions to this problem. Any help would be appreciated

An "old" cam probably won't have Vista drivers available but XP drivers *should* work okay. Do you have a model number for the cam?

it just net cam.
Her's the serial number if that helps 6201b0an030459

Unfortunately, the serial number won't help. You said you installed "the drivers" - where did you get those from?

i installed the ones that came with the original packaging. But when I start the program it just says that the camera isn't connected when it is. And under the device manger it says the camera can't be started

So the original packaging should have the details of the cam - make and model number, yes?
