Look at the back, or under your camera and you should see a model number.
Enter that model number at the site and hopefully they will have a driver for your OS.

Some times with older camera you might have a hard time finding a driver, or maybe no driver at all for your particular OS (Like Windows 7 64bit et al).
If it's not listed try Googling it with search terms like "logitech webcam xxx driver Windows yyy"
Where "xxx" is the model number, and "yyy" is the OS version you are using.
Some times you you find a driver that is not logitech, but an OEM one too with a lot of web searching.

When you re-installed windows 7 did you install the same version or was 32 installed before and you now put in 64?

hi, why? you just have to select the channels to each camera in local usb and it is ready to show all cameras and able to detect/send and everything... then if you want to remotely see with smart phone (for ex) the easiest way is to install teamviewer with a fixed password and you'll be able to see and do what ever you want on your laptop... the system with a router is also possible but less easy to setup for beginners, you have to add a dyndns option and redirect ports in the router to pass through it to your computer... teamviewer does all the trick !
