Webcam help - Nexxtech digital camera CAT 2512928 no driver support from manufacturer

Fenix120 · 06-30-2007

i have a Nexxtech digital camera CAT 2512928 (it's a 4-in-1 webcam)
that according to the orbyx electronics (parent company to nexxtech,) has no driver support for vista operating systems.
to quote the email i received from tech:

"Our hardware and software has been designed and manufactured based on Windows 98 SE, ME, and XP operating systems.
As such, we can not and do not currently offer support on our products with the new Vista system.
Please accept our apologies. "

I was wondering if vista has any generic webcam support or if there is anyone out there who knows of any drivers compatible with my webcam for the x64 vista OS.

any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Josh,

I had the same problem with my Creative Instant WebCam. I had to use the drivers for x64 XP in compatibility mode to work just fine in x64 Vista.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
