webcam Manhattan Fun!Cam

[Guest]

Hi,
I've got a webcam (model Manhattan Fun!Cam) and problem with correct drivers
installation. Windows detect this device as a 'USB Device' and now I can't
change drivers. In spite of correct drivers are installed (from Manhattan's
site), when i'm trying to 'Update Driver' wizard doesn't find them.
When i'm trying to point at file Pfc027.inf as a installer, I get message
that this file doesn't contain any information about hardware.

Changing USB port do not solve a problem. Other devices on USB work properly
so I think it isn't a problem with USB drivers.

Maybe anyone had the same problem - and how to solve it ?

Machine: ECS K7S5; USB1.0; Windows XP SP2

Are you absolutly sure you are using the correct drivers, not only correct
for the web cam but also XP drivers and not 9x drivers? Also make sure you
follow any install instructions listed for the web cam. Some hardware need a
setup file to install the driver, it depends on how the driver was written.
Go back to the web cam makers web site and redownload the XP driver. Then
read the readme file that might be included or look on the web site for any
help on installing the driver in case it has to be installed a particular
way.

Hi,

I installed this webcam before and everything worked fine but it was about a
year ago. I used it maybe 2 months and then webcam was packed into the box.
Since that time, Microsoft published many patches and I'm not sure that maybe
some updates causes that it won't install correctly (I think this is a
problem).
I tried to install it on two different machines so it's strange that before
worked and now it doesn't want to work anywhere.

Maybe anyone using the same webcam on fully updated OS ?

Hi,

yeah i'm trying with drivers available on this page. In fakt on 1st machine
i forgot about this stupid thing to disconnect device before installing
drivers but on the 2nd machine I've done everything according to instructions
from this page. Result is the same - it doesn't work. Farthermore in my case
message about unverified drivers doesn't appear. I think problem is, the
drivers are not installed correctly (registry hasn't any entries, keys ...
anything about this and probably should be).
I mailed to the manufacturer but answers which I receive are ignorant and
can't help me in any way.
