How do I use a webcam that is supposed to run on Windows 98-XP on Windows 7?

Hello!
Your camera is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98/ME, Microsoft Windows 2000 / XP.
Please, contact manufacturer to provide you update if available, and only then you can use it with Windows 7.
Also try Windows 7 forum and support.
Regards!

You have to download windows 7 driver for your webcam because it will not function if you did not install the driver for window 7. Check the brand name and model example a4tech, go their official website and search for the driver commonly you can download the driver by clicking the tab support or download. In case you can not find the driver for windows 7 you can not use your camera. In that case you need to buy a webcam that supported by windows 7 or has a driver for windows 7. Or downgrade your operating system to windows xp! Have a nice day!

Download one of the following drivers. Choose the operating system you're using:

- Windows XP
- Windows ME
- Windows 98
- Windows 2000

If your OS is not listed above then it's not supported. If you're running Windows 7, download from any link and run in compmatibility mode. You should be ok.

Hope this helps.

It looks like its only good up to Windows XP.
