Webcam??

Having real trouble getting vista x64 drivers for a bog standard (it works)
usb webcam/mic anybody help?

P@aul

Try the manufacturer's website. It is very possible that they won't have 64
bit drivers. Many manufacturers are lazy and don't want to write them
because they think there are not enough people using 64 bit versions of
Windows to pay off for the time it would take to develope them.

If you can't find them on the manufacturer's site, try emailing them about
it. They might give you a time frame on some other useful information.

Logitech irritated the heck out of me during the Vista beta phase
because there weren't Vista drivers for any of their products (unlike
some other hardware manufactures) and I became worried that in the
end, they'd not bother with anything that wasn't very very recent
hardware.

Lo and behold they had Vista 64-bit drivers for both my 3-year old
webcam and 2-year old mouse on the day Vista was released AND the
mouse software even added a Vista-specific tweak (for Flip 3D).

You could try the XP drivers if you haven't already.

Name brand, huh?

Reminds me of a keyboard that I bought at a computer show for $2.00. I never
could find drivers for the extra function buttons, if they were even
connected to the circuitry.

Logitech was fast compared to many other hardware manufacturers. I was using
my QuickCam Fushion with beta 2.

Scratch the webcam drivers. I misread. Were it not for the fact that
I recently busted the thing (and need to replace it anyway), I'd be
pretty ****ed.

Thankfully my MX 1000 Mouse is fully supported.

Yes. Logitech was a months behind in the drivers for the mouse, as compared
with the drivers for my webcam.

I'm the other way around and Logitech states they're not going to
support this model of Webcam.
