USB2.0 JPEG WEBCAM INSTALLATION TO WINDOWS 7

Anonymous

I can't access my USB2.0 JPEG webcam after installing the software.

When I plug in to USB of the Camera, the lights come on, and an automatic update comes saying, "windows is installing new USB device". But at the end a message will come again "windows did not succeed to automatically install your USB device".

I tried downloading, installing and using Microsoft Fix It, but it tells me "no software for this device"

Please help. what should i do. I've been trying to install this camera for a week now

Have you checked the manufacturer of the device to find out if its compatible with Windows 7 or find out if there any available drivers or patches that might enable compatibility?
