    umm thanks buddy but as ive said it is a plug and play type camera and it has no real source of information, its preloaded onto the usb...

    Updating mabye, im trying that now mabye i need service pack 2 for vista and im pretty sure the drivers are once again installed on the camera.

    But, thanks anyway for the suggestion. More help is still needed, mabye by someone who owns one?

There's no driver or independent software to use with this cam. It has to be used with other software like windows or yahoo live messenger, AIM or skype, etc
