XP PRO SP2

My friend bought a used computer and got a box of computer peripherals, in the box is a webcam.
The webcam is not branded, it does have a FCC sticker but no FCC ID, it has not serial or model numbers.
When I connect the camera's usb cable to my computer; XP recognises it as a USB camera, I then do a search for drivers, using the default option which searches the net, result; no drivers found.

I had a look at the hardware Update Wizard with the intention of specifying a device type and but there is no reference to camera in the list.
I have used diagnostic utilities; Belarc Advisor and Sandra Lite but they are unable to recognise the camera.
What other software might be able to recognise the camera and allow me to install the drivers.

Have you tried logitec's drivers? If there is no identification sticker, you may just need to keep on trying until you get it...

One of us will recognise the item.

Many webcams are rebadged/renamed/no-named versions of an older model that has since entered the budget market.

Take a picture of it, upload it to somewhere like [u]Photobucket[/u] then give us all a chance to have a look at it.

Y'never know ... ;)
