Yes! I finally found the driver for that blasted webcam! I searched for hours on the web but couldn't find anything except 2 forum posts by the same guy also looking for drivers for the camera.

My mate eventually tracked down the original cd driver disk to the camera in his house. It was one of those mini-cd's and funnily enough it actually is a disk for MSN Messenger 6.2.

The disc confirms that the camera is a Microsoft product, yet I was unable to find any mention of it anywhere on Microsofts sites.

Anyway, once I'd installed the drivers from the disk, I then did a search for updated versions on the web. That was pointless as there aren't any.

Anyway, if you have one of these cameras, a VIMICRO USB PC 301x, then you can download a set of drivers from here. Windows XP will complain that the drivers haven't been digitally signed, but you can just install them anyway and they'll work. Just remember to restart after installation.
