http://download.cnet.com/2000-20_4.html on the home page you should see a search tab just type in what you are looking for IE: webcam name webcam driver you might have to try a few times to get it right software if you dont have the driver you will need to download one here
rather doing a driver hunt which can take hours http://download.cnet.com/slimdrivers-free/3000-18513_4-75279940.html Windows XP/Vista/7/8 It might take some time being a freeware driver solution note: it will find all of your outdated drivers this is a free driver solutions This will automatically search for and find the correct driver you will have to update every driver individually once you update you might be asked whether you want to restart or make a system restore point click no to both of these then continue updating each driver free then restart once all of the drivers have been updated Some webcams and programs require additional software, although that should be installed with the webcam if things are right. But is does not harm to check if your
Java, Flash and
Quicktime software are installed and up to date. But certainly check your DirectX software, since all video applications, including webcams, use DirectX for video processing. Try downloading the latest DirectX version and install it (Windows XP:
DirectX 9.0c - Windows Vista
: DirectX 10).

sign into yahoo messenger or msn. You will see an option Webcam there. On clicking on it it will ask few question where you need to select your cam. If the cam is installed and connected correctly you will see the picture on the screen.
Thanks
I got a webcam free
Yes this is possible, however you must read on the back of it and find the model number and the manufacturer. there are a couple of ways you can do this the first is to find the model number and just Google its drivers, and the second way is really easy just get the manufacturers name then go to there website and click on something similar to support & Drivers then search for its model number and download the drivers.
hope this fixes your problem if not please do not hesitate to contact us again. Thanks for posting on FixYa.
