Hi,

I have this old A4Tech Pk-35N that I have difficulty installing. The
computer always detect it as PC Camera, when it tries to look for
driver at Windows Update, It always got this Genius Look 315P. Even
when installing the exact drivers from A4Tech. It can't work as the
computer can't detect it. When I point to the .inf file for driver
list. No output. The installation file says I must remove/uninstall
original mouse
driver. But in vista and even xp, when you reboot, it automatically
reinstall mouse driver. But one time yesterday. I don't know what I
did, or it was accidentally, I was able to install the A4Tech PC
Camera H
drive and was able to use my webcam. But after rebooting it. I
couldn't again. Anyone got a clue? I use Vista and XP, and even when I
reinstall
XP and run their drivers, it still can't detect the Webcam. Know what
I must do or anyone encounters similar problem before?? Thanks.

With the prices of web cams now a days,just repleace the webcam. you will be
getting a better product anyways. I had an old intel webcam that i loved but
couldnt get it to work with XP. I just replased it,its not worth the hassles
IMO. Other then that i seen theres tons of drivers listed on google for your
webcam,try another, it could have been just corrupted download,it happens
sometimes.
