go to your device manager and do it manually - update driver - find location

Right Click My Computer > Properties > Hardware [TAB] > Device Manager [BUTTON]

Imaging Devices > [FIND] Webcam > Update Driver > Manual

If it's not there, try plugging the fker in, and retrying.

Uninstall the drivers . Then unistall camera . Reboot, hardware wizard should start ,then you point it to drivers .
