From the title of B00kWyrm's driver and other evidence i found, i think it might be a Genius Look camera? (Their Look model, not i-Look model) Anyway you can scroll through the site to find it and see the pic. Try the Setup file B00kWyrm found if it matches your OS. Which operating system are you using? You canġ. inf isn't visible.īut i think your driver find if is an excellent guess and one to try

inf is embedded in setup files such that the. inf installer file could check for certain but it's harder to know for certain when the. And, like you, I also see evidence pointing to a Genius Webcam You're also right the webcam is built using a Sonix device. This one isn't easy to find for certain! (that's the only thing for certain!) Here's a link to a driver (but note it's designated for Windows 2000 or Windows XP) returned by the search. => So we now search for: VID_0553&PID_0100 And BINGO! (No REV occurs in the 2nd ID Windows listed) We see Windows doesn't really care what the REV level is. But! look at the 2nd Hardware ID Windows listed.If your search now gets results, THEN see if REV is displayed in the results and use the rev level to help pick your driver.It's sometimes best to drop REV from the search.If the vendor produced slightly different versions of the device they'll assign each version its own Rev level Next, check if REV_ xxxx is part of the ID.=> Try to Search for: USB\VID_0553&PID_0100&REV_0000 But, in this case, neither Yahoo or Google find any matches (I've found Yahoo sometimes provides some good hits that Google missed - and vice-versa) If not happy with the result, I try Yahoo as well. When i go searching for a driver to match an ID, I use both Google and Yahoo.So we prefer a driver matching the first ID but if we can't find one Windows tells us the 2nd ID should also work

Windows lists Hardware IDs in order of "best driver match".You'll see a list of one or more Hardware Id stringsĥ. Select Hardware Ids from the pull-down.In Device Manager, select your web cam device, rt click Properties.Verify the device you had found is no longer displayed in Device Manager => Your web cam device will only appear in Device Manager when the web cam is powered on and connected

How to verify the device you found is your web cam.

=> Your web cam will appear as a device with a yellow icon ( probably a question mark) Also, be sure to also check if category Other Devices appears in Device Manager and look under it as well => Be certain to expand the USB category to check all devices listed under it. => While your web cam is connected, look through all of Device Manager for devices with a yellow icon ( probably a yellow question mark) => If Windows finds the WRONG device driver you may see your web cam with the WRONG device name => If Windows finds NO device driver, your web cam may be named “Unknown” or "Other" device => It's those cryptic Device Identification strings that really identify a device As far as Windows is concerned, the device name is simply a comment! => Windows provides user-friendly device names to accommodate us humans. => Click Control Panel->System, then Hardware tab, then Device Manager button If you have Control Panel Home View, click System and Maintenance->Device Manager If you have Control Panel Classic View, click Device Manager

As long as your web cam and computer hardware are working, Windows should detect it!.

Plug your USB cam directly into your computer ( do not use any external USB hubs).

Create a System Restore point before installing new drivers.

#GATEWAY WEBCAM SOFTWARE INSTALL#

Only install driver updates for devices that aren't working or you think need them.

#GATEWAY WEBCAM SOFTWARE UPDATE#

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" Don't install every driver update just because it finds one. Note these tools may also find driver updates for devices other then your webcam. Connect your cam before you run the tool. Update: In addition to the manual search method described below, here's two FREE driver finder tools you can also try that may help find your driver.

(For example, an older web cam may only have XP compatible drivers.) But you won't know unless you first try and look!

#GATEWAY WEBCAM SOFTWARE DRIVERS#

Note that older cams may not have drivers that work with newer versions of Windows. The driver must also be compatible with the version of Windows you're running. This guide describes how to identify the Hardware IDs for a USB web cam, then try and find a driver that matches the Hardware ID. Windows Device Identification strings look rather cryptic (for example, USB\VID_093A&PID_2468\5&B114931&0&1) but these strings are fundamental to Windows Plug-and-Play and how Windows figures out which drivers work with what devices in the first place!
